That means I have to go back to work. I didn't make it yesterday, so to work I go today. If nothing else, I'll see what kind of disarray the summer custodians made of my rooms. Are the tables and chairs back where they're supposed to be? They haven't been for the last few years, so I don't expect them to be this year.
Once I have my rooms back in order, the rest of the job is routine. You know, welcome the kids back, go to teacher meetings, attend Back to School Night, yeah, the old routine. And then back to teaching kids how to draw and how to sculpt in clay. That's the fun part.
Speaking of clay, this latest revision to THE VASE is about done. And that means I'll be submitting it again. It's a heck of a story. Original, unique, and any other synonym you can think of. Funny thing is, I don't make vases, myself. Just sculptures. But so what. I'm still an expert in clay. And so is the main character in THE VASE, Muhsin Muhabi.
But he has an easier job. All he has to do is sell vases in the Old City Market in downtown Nazareth. I have to manage 30 plus kids in a classroom. Oh well. Such is life.
