Back To School, 2006 Edition

Well, well, well, whadya know. Can you believe that school is in session already? If you’ve been reading my blog so far this past August, you would know that I’ve been working towards this moment for the past three (or so) weeks. But if you are just hopping on for the first time with this particular entry, then hey, I can’t believe that school has already started.

We started yesterday morning and, I have to say, after having taught 10 periods so far this year, that I really do enjoy working with these students. It is day 2 and we’ve already had our first homework assignment and homework quiz. We’ve also heard two lectures about order of operations and exponential notation so far also. Very cool stuff indeed.

And the best part is that it’s Friday and tomorrow is the weekend. It’s funny how weekends don’t mean so much when you aren’t working; except that you get to hang out with your working friends. The ironic thing about this weekend (and pretty much every weekend from now until the end of the school year) is that I will log just as many hours as I did during the week. Oh well, it’s the life of a public school teacher.

Remember how I mentioned earlier that I had already taught ten periods of class this year? Well, the bell signaling the end of my prep period is about to ring and I need to get ready to put the eleventh and twelfth periods in the book as taught classes in about two minutes. Adios.
