A new year

Happy New Year!!! If you think I've lost it, you are correct but I lost it a long time ago!! Happy New SCHOOL year! Yep the new school year is officially has officially kicked off....at least day one in in the books. Only 179 days to go!

It was a pretty quiet and uneventful first day.They kids were kind of tired, as were the adults. I think a lot of napping and sleeping in is done during the summer!! I only had a few kids show up in the wrong place on the wrong day....we all forgot several times it was a Tuesday, not a Monday, thus the mix up in the schedule. The freshmen and new students walked around with that scared look on their faces for most of the day. Tomorrow with be better and by the end of the week they will be pros!

But here is a list of typical things I heard or happened today:
-a middle schooler vomited after lunch in the restroom....either it was nerves or school lunch. I'm betting it was lunch!
-I was asked about a million times "is this where I'm suppose to be?"
-I was also asked "When does this period end??"
-"Can I go to the restroom"...a phrase no one has asked me this since the last day of school. I don't miss that!
-"Could you print my schedule...I lost the one the office gave me!" I heard this at least five times!
-"Where is the restroom?" I was asked once!
And these are just a few of the questions or phrases I heard many, many times today!

Overall it was a good day, and as I left school today all I could think was 179 more days to go!!!
If they all go like today did it will be a pretty good year. BUT I work with teenage kids so I know better than to believe that!!! But we are off to a good start....lets hope we stay on this path for a few days, at least!
