Now, that's different. Man, it's going to take awhile to memorize names and faces, let alone meet and get to know my fellow teachers. You might say I have a bit of a head start - I think I know about 7 or 8...
I did find comfort in the "normal" back to school routine (minus the whole getting up before the sun thing), with passing out of schedules, handbooks, etc. I suppose most schools are the same along those lines, right? Plus, we had a whole afternoon of emergency preparedness training. (I have to admit, though, that even after a can of Diet Coke, I was still fighting the yawns and heavy eyelids - and the presenter was actually pretty good!)
But do you know what gets me really excited about the back to school routine? Decorating and designing the physical classroom space! (Ok, maybe that's a rhetorical question, or maybe it's just an obvious answer.) But seriously, I cannot wait to see my classroom (tomorrow!) and get started.
Yes, maybe these next few days will bring longer hours, but I've come to expect that - it's something that stays the same as a teacher no matter where you serve.
