We have unique scheduling in the school where I teach part-time. The subjects for each grade level are divided into two blocks and they are taught alternately. Each block is good for a month. Thus the students need to study half the number of subjects per month.
For this December however, I have three subjects. Compared to last month, in which I have only one subject. Therefore, I am quite busier this month compared to last month.
Greetings dear readers. I hope you are all well. And as Christmas is approaching fast, you are probably quite busy preparing for the occasion. Anyway, in this post I will share with you how the first two weeks of December went.
Week 1
In the first week, I was able to write 6 articles. Which is my minimum target for the number of posts per week. But I was able to read a few articles per day. As such, I have up-voted on only a few articles. Maybe the reason my earning is low as well.
Week 2 (December 8 to the time of writing)
This is my second article within 24 hours but only my third article this week. Therefore I am at least two articles short of my minimum of 6 articles per week.
I started the article Why I love Using Pixteller three days ago, but I got a bit busy finishing it. I have to prepare for my classes.
Our Youngest Son Was Sick.
Perhaps another reason I wasn't active as much as I wanted to this week, our youngest son was sick. He's got pneumonia. Couple that with the untimely passing of my wife's uncle. So my in-laws stayed in the wake all week long. Thus we have no one else to ask to watch over our kids when we go to work. I did not hold my classes until Thursday.
He is ok now, thank God.
Then, last Friday, we went to the wake. It was the last night of the wake. We came home at midnight. I could have finished the previous article yesterday, but I was too tired.
Rainy Week.
It's been raining hard every morning this week, Thus I wasn't able to jog. Instead, I did some short exercises here at home. I do hope I can jog tomorrow morning though.
My Laptop is Fixed.
For a few months, I did not use my laptop. I was fortunate that the school where I teach part-time allowed me to use their Chromebook. That's what I have been using to write my articles.
My laptop had been too sluggish. Every time I check the performance under the Task Manager, it shows that the disk activity stays at 100% almost all the time. So I suspected it was the disk.
Last week, I ordered a 240 Gigabyte SSD drive. I got it last Thursday and I installed it myself. I was right it was my old hard disk that was the problem.
Another advantage of using an SSD drive is, it is fast. My laptop has a Celeron processor only. But with the SSD drive, the performance improved a lot. The boot time now takes less than 15 seconds.
Adjusting My Sails
Yesterday, I posted this quote in noise. (https://noise.cash/post/lv5w279j)
Yeah, things did not go exactly as I have planned this month. My earning is much slower compared to November. And the price of BCH has also dropped and currently going sideways. But it doesn't mean I will not achieve my goals for this month anymore. We will have a break after the 16th. This means I have plenty of time to catch up.
This is it for now.

I am glad that the school allowed you to use their laptop. I think they are very kind to do that. Now that your laptop is fixed, you are back on track.
