I am very excited.  Every year it is like starting a new job.  Think about it!  How many jobs out there do you get a new start every single year?  Education is the place to be.  New students, new teachers, new materials, new ideas and everything is beginning at the beginning!  If you had a bad year last year, you can start over and have a good one this year.  What a way to live and work!

Tomorrow is the official day.  I have to be there by 7:30 for the big District Breakfast and introductions, paper work and etc.  Actually, I have been working in my room all week.  But at noon today, the cleaning crew chased me out so they could put a seal and shine on my tile floor at the door of my room.  If I stayed, I would not have been able to get out of my room until tomorrow.  So, I left.  I still have a lot to do.

Last year I didn't even get to use my desk.  The drawers were still empty.  This year, I am changing my room around because I need my desk.  I was trying to get all my things organized and put in the right place so I can find everything.  But, maybe I will get it done tomorrow afternoon.  I got several hugs from returning teachers and it felt like old home again.

The positive attitude is permeating the walls.  I love that about a new year.  It is before things go wrong and attitudes change.  I always love the beginning of a new year.

Good luck for all of you returning or beginning a new year in a new world.
