I am EXHAUSTED
It is amazing how much being back at a job you haven't worked really hard at in three months can wear you out. That is why this entry will be short and sweet.
I am THRILLED with my new school and my new school district. Everyone is so positive and helpful. Technology is highly emphasized and there are a TON of resources that we have at our disposal to access it with our students. I have been totally floored in the last few days by the amazing organization and expectations that the people in this district possess. It is just unspeakable how awesome it is.
But I am tired. All three days this week, outside of training, have been spent moving boxes from my house to my classroom, cleaning up the junk from the previous teacher, and unpacking everything....and finding a spot. I find myself doing the same thing that I did when I worked at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium....just walking around in circles, picking up stuff, placing it somewhere and doing it over and over again.
I am working with what appears to be a fantastic staff so far - I've made a few wonderful friends so far and am so glad that I worked my butt off to get this position. I feel very privileged to be working in my current district and no matter how horrible the kids are, I have a feeling that I am going to be the most happy that I have been in years with my job. I know that all this optimism might change as the year progresses, but I am going in with light shoulders and an open mind!
I will post again soon....but not anymore tonight :) I am falling asleep!
hurraY!
