So first day was pretty smooth for the most part...although I did have to kick some people out of my library this morning so I could have class!
They (being front office people, principals included) wanted to use my seating area of the library as a catch-all area for those people who needed further enrollment help (or something like that...hey, as long as I didn't have to supervise...fine, I don't care what'cha do).
So school starts...8:45 rolls around...table seating area is still full of parents, children, office personnel, and principals. Kindergarten is scheduled to come at 8:45. First day of school, first day of Kindergarten. They are late (of course) so I go get them, thinking to myself that maybe all the people will be out by 9:35 when 4th grade is scheduled to come in, and that it's okay because Kindergarten and I will stay over on the carpet and read our stories. And so we did. And I returned them to class (going to be one of those teachers!! grrr).
It's 9:30. All of my tables (and I have 9!!) contain people. I head toward Principal No. 1, she says, "Oh, you have a class coming." I say, "Yes." She says, "What time?" (thinking to myself, doesn't she know? didn't she make my schedule? duh!) I say, "At 9:35, which is in 5 minutes, and I need all of my seating because I'm presenting a PPT and doing an activity with 4th grade." They all promptly adjourn to the cafeteria. Score one for me! lol
Anyway, after that it was pretty smooth sailing. I have a couple of 'interesting' 3rd graders on Monday, but otherwise not to shabby. And I kinda like once-a-week lesson plans (not that I should be making them! incorrect library usage! I should not be a 'teacher' or teaching in isolation but...oh well...it pays the bills).

Don't let those teachers take advantage of you, Lady! I'll kick them! No, really, do you want me to come down and kick a few? I have a little pent up frustration from a boy that I thought I liked, then he came to visit, all very romantic, then he decided he just wanted to be friends. I truly hate men. So, yea, getting in a fight with a few teachers sounds kinda fun right now!! p.s. I miss you.
