First day back

Another school year is about to begin. We had to go in today and work in our classrooms. I'd have preferred to have today off since it was a good day to do anything but go to work but eh, what can you do?
I got to meet the new English teacher and right now, she seems ok. time will tell (for her and myself, i'm sure).
The schedules for our classes were sent out to us yesterday and I had some places I thought could be changed so I emailed the admin to voice my observances. Since i was kind of frustrated with the present schedule, I wrote a note, then slept on it so I wouldn't reply in anger. Turns out today i felt the same so i proofread the note and then sent it off. Seems like things might be ok, I hope, and things will change for the better. Its easy to feel frustrated with how things are but i hope to not jump to conclusions too quickly or let the drama get to me this year. I really just want to get my teaching done and come home mentally intact.
Things I thought were funny, the two kids I first met at the school are the same two kids that came to say hello today. Makes me wonder if it's a sign.
We went to get 1/2 price cheeseburgers today. The waitress took our order and then asked if we wanted cheese on the burgers. I said, "if they're cheeseburgers, don't the already come with cheese?" She said, "no, the cheese is extra." so i said, "you're telling me, i have to pay extra for the cheese on a cheeseburger? they're cheeseburgers. isn't the cheese supposed to come with it?" My youngest son cracked up and finally the waitress agreed that cheese were supposed to come with cheeseburgers. awesome.
my classroom is a mess. there are dead spiders everywhere. the roof has a leak so one of my ceiling tiles broke and crashed down, again. its a mess on the floor since no one has come in to clean it up, but whomever has been checking on my room or doing i don't know what in my room, managed to track it all over the floor and somehow got it on the desks that are 10 ft. away.
tomorrow i meet with a friend to go over lesson plans. i'm excited to meet with her since she always has great ideas and i love catching up with her.
next week is in-service. goodbye summer. it was nice having you. see you again in 9 months.
