Today was the first full day of school, and I survived, though I'm not sure I'm still in one piece. After spending the first hour plus trying to wrangle in the wild animals while checking paperwork, I wanted to go home. Too bad it was only 10 o'clock. I was then supposed to issue lockers. Too bad nobody gave me the combinations. I'm supposed to take computerized attendance every period. Too bad I can't get on my computer. This list could go on...well, forever.
If I'm trying to look on the bright side of things: we did a really cool project helping them practice the scientific method, and I learned most of the kids' names. Also, the other teachers warned me about one specific kid, and I was able to reel him in pretty quickly. We'll see how long that lasts....
I hope that everyone else's years start off a little bit smoother! If you're ever just about to cry because it's so overwhelming--give me a call. I'm there, too.
