First Day Back at Work

Hello Bloggers! Yes, I made it through our first day back at work. Actually, I had a pretty good day. It seems that things on our hallway are definitely changing and it is definitely for the best. Amanda has completed her move to our hall and it is great having her right next door. It is going to be so great to have my two best friends right beside me every day! We also have a new lady teaching on our hall and she seems very sweet. I think she is going to be a great addition to the staff. I hope the kids respond well to her. Between running back and forth between Jaime and Amanda's rooms I worked on cleaning out file folders from my desk drawers, organizing the posters I want to hang, and working on the schedules with Dr. Young. I probably didn't get as much accomplished as I should have, but we did have a long boring morning in the library and then we took a long lunch. Lunch went better than expected. The English department and the new Science teacher decided to eat at Casa Blanca and surprisingly certain people that have been VERY negative in the past seem to have changed their attitudes about the teaching profession. We expected a lot of griping and fussing, but it turned out to be pleasant conversation about summer. How refreshing! It seems that everyone is in good spirits and it's contagious. I went in this morning with a sort of numb feeling towards the start of the new school year. Now, I'm kind of excited.
