Bit the bullet...

I forced myself... literally... to go back to my classroom today and try to get some things done.

[sigh]

My schedule this year puts me on the wander-from-room-to-room circuit. I do get to have a desk in a room that's not mine, or rather that I'm sharing with another teacher (who I love, so at least that won't be a problem).

All this meant that I had to take down all my cool tropical decorations. No more inflatable palm tree, no more Tahitian beach scenes. I need to start checking out the prices of wheelie carts.

At this point, I'll be honest here -- I'm just thankful to have a decent paying job. I'll clean bathrooms with a toothbrush during my planning periods if they tell me to. Don't tell the teacher's union that, though... they'd probably have a cow.
