Day 227 - First Day of School

Here we go.  Another school year has started.  Not liking the fact that it starts on a Tuesday.  At least it was a half day.  I believe I was sufficiently meaner than last year and gave a lot of evil eyes today.  I just need to continue the trend.  Wednesday I will read them the riot act and then I need to stick to my guns and catch them early on.  I already have my eye on a couple of them. 

I don't want to jinx it - I think this year might be a lot better than last year.  Granted I will have more work seeing as my class sizes have nearly doubled in size.  My last hour class has 28 students.  I only have 25 desks but we made it work.

It was neat to have a bunch of students wandering the halls who actually knew me and said hello.  I actually felt like some of the other teachers - ones who know bunches of students.

I got a lot of compliments as well.  I wore a skirt - SHOCKING.  I did my hair nice - compared to wearing it back all year.  One of the other teachers actually said I looked a lot thinner.  Yey, thank you.  I didn't think anyone would really notice.  Since Andrew has left, I have lost about 7 pounds and now I am working to maintain that.  Was very nice to hear.

I feel quite exhausted today even though I didn't do much.

Hey - I'll have visitors tomorrow and that makes me happy.  The more intriguing thing will be if I manage to be awake when they get here.
