Getting my act somewhat together

My life revolves around school. I don't think they pay me enough for this. (come to think of it, when do I get paid? one of those questions I really should ask...) I was at school for another 8 hours today and managed to get the first and second days of school planned. On one hand, yay for having written plans! On the other hand, if it takes me four hours to plan each of the rest of the school days, I will shoot myself in the face. It's great working with a co-teacher, since she has a lot of ideas and it's nice to be able to talk to someone about this sort of thing, but it takes us an eternity to get anything down in writing. She and I also seem to be fairly different personality types (she: chatty, friendly, experienced teacher, outgoing, prone to brainstorming and tangents... I: want to get stuff done, not so talkative or experienced, logical and sequential). It's hard to say whether it would be faster if I worked by myself, but I suppose I'll be doing it all on my own soon enough.

Also, our school made the paper! I was going to link to it but apparently need to be a subscriber to the online newspaper. I hate to sign up for tons and tons of online things, not to mention the fact that I don't have an address yet. But perhaps when I get a chance, I'll copy down the section of the article that refers to me and post it here. (Hint: It doesn't mention my name and is not particularly flattering.)

Hey, today's post is rather self-centered. Enough about me, let's talk about me! Go ahead and write some comments about me! Seriously, though, once I get the classroom up and running, I'll hopefully have the chance to think a little bit about the outside world; I feel that school is sucking the life out of me right now.
