And you all know how much I loooooooove meetings, right? Hah.
Actually, I am tireder than a dead dog at the moment. I did get my computers moved and my desk one all wired into the system, downloaded my class lists, etc. Still got no input from anyone as to what "collaboration" is actually supposed to look like in practice. At this point I don't care; I'll work it out with each of my two collaboration teachers as to how they want the relationship to work.
When I checked into the computer, I found out that now not only are outside e-mail sources blocked from the system, but now blogs are blocked. Sooo, no blogging from school. Which is fine; I wouldn't have had time to, anyway.
Saw lots of familiar faces and was glad to see most of them. A couple of them, I'm steering clear of this year. I am a friendly and optimistic person by nature, but there were a few people who were just plain ugly to me last year. I have no interest in revenge behaviors, but I do know now who to trust and who to be politely distant from. Useful information in a school atmosphere, for sure.
I'm not at all ready for the kids to show up yet, though. Tomorrow morning I hope to be able to get my desk sorted out and things put where they're supposed to be.
In the meantime, like I said, I am super-tired. I think I'll lie down for a few minutes just to recharge.
