I came in the door this morning completely ready to make a fresh start of it this semester. Within not even 90 minutes, I was knee deep in the same drama I thought I had left right before the holidays. Oops! I guess the lesson I learned is that just wishing and preparing for a fresh start doesn’t make that fresh start automatically appear!
That said, we buckled down and got through the worst of the problems and managed to make it a pretty productive day anyway. I left satisfied. I am also slightly hopeful after seeing that many teachers have finalized and submitted their grades from the first semester a day ahead of time, which is very helpful.
Tomorrow, I have fewer meetings, which hopefully means fewer distractions, and maybe I will be able to accomplish some of the things on my long leftover list from this morning.
I also plan on developing a Twitter class for teachers this week come help or high water!
