Had one of the new boys change classes on me.
He was in US History I, but was moved to World Geography. No one told me, but students sure knew. Imagine how frustrating that is to not know these guppy sized things. Glad I didn't order him a book for the other class! Grrrr

I don't know for what reasons they come here at mid-year, but they always seem to need a change of air. My boss never really tells us 'why' they're here, just that 'they are' here. Time to order two more books.

Here I am back at work (school).

I've never done a blog before, don't know who would stoop so low as to read it. To much free time? I"ll make an entry just for kicks.
My much needed two week sabbatical is beginning to wind down. I must recharge my batteries and brace myself for an incredibly long stretch of no time off.
