All Things Are (Really) New

New school year, new students, but it feels so different this year.

Probably because I'm not up in front of all my classes, because of the presence of the student-teacher.

It is strange sitting at my desk, grading papers or whisper-chatting with the teacher's aide, and passively observing what she's doing. I'm so used to being the person up front. Odd, that.

And my paper load is down 40%, so my weekends are unusually free right now. It's downright luxurious. I'm actually doing household projects on the weekends.

I'm not complaining, it's all good. Student-teacher is good and doesn't need anything more than a little supervision and guidance as she goes, so that's easy. The lighter load just has me off-balance for the semester. Believe me, I'll adapt!

And They're Off!

Wow, another year on it's way!

Too much going on to stop and write: this is just to let anyone who stops by know I'M BACK.

As soon as something happens, you'll be the first to know.
