Another Year, another start... Another blog?

Monday September 1.
Labour Day.
THAT day.
THE day.

The day teachers fear. Yes, the day before school starts again for another year.

Believe it or not teachers get the heebie-geebies the first day... or in my case, bad dreams a week and a half before hand. After talking to many co-workers at my school last week, it turns out lots of us have the "oh my god its the first day of school and i have nothing planned and no books and no binders and the bell just rang and my boss is in the hall giving me the evil eye and i have nothing to teach and the kids are starring at me" dream. True.

So we spend the week before school opens planning and photocopying in some vain attempt to appease the anxiety demon that lurks in all of us. And there's also the lunches out, the beers out, the talking about our summer, welcoming and meeting new staff, seeing friends for the first time in 2 months hugs, all of that good stuff too.

And so, tonight I'm hoping for a couple of good classes, some good students, some funny entertaining students, and some good times.

Tonight I am also re-starting this blog. You see, I started it way back in February, and never really got around to actually blogging. However, 2 of my good friends (Melissa's Miscellany and Daisy's Measuring Cup) have been blogging for some time and I religiously check theirs... And now my hubby started his own blog (DaemonQ's Blog) as well. Seeing as he is spending some time every night blogging, I started getting the writing itch again, so here I am... we'll see how long this lasts!

Tonight I leave you with a fun clip... in honour of all my students and their favorite word...
