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.

    I just found your blog while researching the Memphis Teaching Fellows and Teach for America and am sad that you didn't continue writing after your first day of teaching. I'd like to see how the experience went for you.
