Minerva:
You know I hate to have YPL matters intrude on teaching, but I’m afraid I’m a bit stuck.
We absolutely must meet for two days, sometime in December (the TriWizard Tournament did havoc to our original plans, and we’ve been scrambling to rearrange ever since.) To make things worse, both of the new committee members have significant plans over our Christmas break, when I’d normally schedule our meetings. The committee has (grudgingly) agreed to meet on a weekend day, but we need at least one day during the workweek for conversations with various Ministry staff.
Would it be all right with you if I planned to miss either the 2nd or 3rd Monday in December? (3 classes: the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw 3rd years, and the 2nd year class and observing time, since I doubt I’ll be up for a midnight class after two days of meetings.) The other option would be either of those Fridays. But that would mean the 5th years missing both class and observing, and the 7th years missing observing and I hate to lose any class time for students in OWL and NEWT years.
Whichever day, I’m glad to either assign them something to work on, or arrange alternate time to make up. Any other ideas most welcome, of course.
