Well, Ok Then

I survived the first day! It turns out that my classroom is a computer lab (which requires a special key card entry - and I didn't realize that), so when I showed up this morning, twenty five students were waiting for me in the hallway and we were locked out.

Fun times.

So we went on a field trip and held class outside on the lawn. Images of Jesus and the disciples come to mind...with less spirituality and more eye rolling. With less loaves/fishes and more worrying about sitting in goose poop. But still. The students were troopers and we had a good time and it turns out that I have more returning students than I thought! I had 7 returning students just in today's class! I expect about 5 in tomorrow's. I take this as evidence that, as a teacher, I'm doing something right.

I spent the rest of the day running errands, bonding with Virginia (as in Woolf, as in my BFF for the next 4 months), and doing chain gang labor in the back yard. Lucy and I are now foam rolling and checking email.

Cross your fingers for tomorrow!
