...the first week of school

Whew! We made it! An exhausting non-stop week is behind us. Now to regroup, rest up, and be ready for Monday. Some highs and lows:

Highs--

• Fun, cute freshmen who haven't quite figured out their schedules, locker combinations or my sense of humor.
• Someone I had as a freshman is back to get her diploma--after having 2 babies. So glad she's back in school!
• All but one of my newcomers from last year are back again this year.
• Four new newcomers with that "deer in the headlights" look . :-)

Lows--

• More work, less time to do it--thanks, budget cuts! (How NOT to live at school this year will be the challenge.)
• Schedules that just don't work no matter how hard you try.
• Bells weren't working ...but neither was the intercom...so maybe that should be a "high?" hmmm...
• Too many boys sporting red shirts in the halls today...hmmm again.

And now...I'm headed out to blow off some steam...a beautiful afternoon for a ride.
