First day of Cool

08/21/2003

Today was the first day of school at Hyde. Talk about craziness! Several things didn’t go as smoothly as planned. Students were given their second semester schedules. I was given ten classes instead of five. Students didn’t know where they were going.
Luckily, we have a really great staff that really pulls together to help out in situations like this. I think, considering the circumstances, the day went pretty darn well. Oh, and I ended up only having five classes…thank goodness!
I get to have two more classes this year: Art II and Crafts II. This is cool because it allows the curriculum to be expanded so students not only get to broaden their abilities, but I also get new challenges for teaching them.
Unfortunately, I have been completely exhausted this week. Yesterday I went to bed at 8:00 p.m., which is pretty darn early. But, I was up fine this morning, being extremely thankful that I got the rest I did.
Today was the first day of school. Tomorrow is the first day of cool. It’s when students finally know where they are supposed to go and start to pull together a bit more. So, maybe I’ll wear sunglasses tomorrow to show how extra cool I am.
