First Day of School Tomorrow!

Please excuse my 1 month hiatus.  Here's a quick recap of what has happened since July 7th - August 7th:

• I flew home to LA
• In 40 hours in LA: I hugged the kitties, walked the dog, ate tamales, watched tv, had a lovely bbq with friends, made a last stop to the karaoke dive bar, and packed my car 
• I drove from LA to Memphis, which is 28 hours of drive time.  It took me only 48 hours total time.  Spent the night in Flagstaff and Amarillo.
• I went through teacher training at my school
• I went through teacher training with TFA

And now the first day of school is here.  And I don't have a classroom yet.  Our first day of school is going to be held in the auditorium all day.  Hopefully construction will finish on our classrooms soon - maybe even tomorrow.

Despite the chaos and having a million things still to do, I'm oddly at peace with it all right now.  I think that may change soon.  But right now I feel like I've done as much as I can in the time given with the resources available to me and it's time to play ball.  Hopefully I don't strike out.
