Schedule is SET!!!

After just over three months of tweaking and negotiating, my class schedule is finally set.  The final version comes in looking something like this:

Monday: Two classes – (1) 7-8:30am (2) 6:30-8pm

Tuesday: One class – 1:30-3pm; Rugby practice 8-10pm

Wednesday: Four classes – (1)7-8:30am (2)1:30-3pm (3) 6:15-7:45pm (4) 8-10pm

Thursday: Tuesday: One class – 1:30-3pm; Rugby practice 8-10pm

Friday: One class – 7-8:30am

Saturday: One class – 9-11am; Rugby game

There are a few specific details which were finely crafted into this schedule to ensure optimal performance:  

(1)You may notice that on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, I don’t teach. This gives me a chance to catch up on any sleep I lose waking up at 5:30 to make my Mon/Wed/Fri class at 7am.  A necessary luxury when also working a night shift at a B&B.   

(2)Secondly, and possibly most important, I have carefully selected only classes close enough to my apartment that allow me to ride my bike to attend.  This not only saves a few bucks a day, but also provides a bit of cardio on my days off from rugby.   

(3)The finishing touches needed on this masterpiece that is my teaching schedule was the optimization of my hourly wages.  As expected, each company pays different hourly wages and of the ten classes I am teaching, five of them are in the highest wage range I have been offered! 
 

Unfortunately I have just under two months left of teaching here in Peru, with Casey and J-Mac arriving at the end of June and my departure coming shortly after theirs, but I will be sure to enjoy the continuity and beauty that has become my weekly schedule here in Lima!
