tuesday

man!  i'm tired.  i feel like i'm a first year teacher all over again with the work hours i am putting in.  such is the life with new curriculum (or really a new year in a new grade).  tonight is our parent/teacher orientation so i figured i'll relax a bit on the internet before i head over. 

i even overheard dave telling a friend that he hasn't seen me work this hard in a LONG time. :)  so it's true. i've even logged weekend hours..... multiple weeks in a row. ouch.  the joys of teaching.....

gum update:  i've collected on 6 kids ($60 for me) and another 7 to come in.  that's right: i'm up to 13 kids so far.  now i'm starting to ponder if i should put the money down on a new camera.  it's so hard.  kinda like if you pay $$$ for a car.  once you save up, it's hard to spend. 

plus, i've been suckered into helping sponsor the junior class.  apparently, this is the hardest year as they need to fundraise for the prom and other events that are happening.  WONDERFUL.  it's a GOOD thing i like those kids!!!!!

gotta run.  keep chewin' out there.
