some stuff that i felt like writing about

I've got nothing to say, but it's okay.

(Name that tune for extra points!)

Back to school! It's the most wonderful time of the year!!! (Apparently, I'm all about song lyrics today.) Today was the first day for my first grade students. I only had half of the kids (the other half come tomorrow), and then Friday I have a "full" class. I put "full" in quotes because I only have 18 kids... which is one less than last year's total. I'm okay with a smaller class. It means less behavior problems (usually), and more time for one-on-one attention. But less kids also means less money for our school, which will eventually put us in danger of closing. Hopefully that's a long way down the road, but you never know. That's part of the reason that I'm working my ass off to get my masters. The sooner the better, just in case I need it for a new job.

But anyway. My kids are cutie pies. So far. Talk to me in about five weeks and I'm sure I'll have a different opinion of some of them. :-)

And I started my fall class for grad school, which is two nights a week. So basically, I'm gonna be dragging my ass through September. I guarantee I'll be fast asleep before 10:30 PM every night this month. The first few weeks are always the worst.
This weekend is the Ren Faire! Yay! I hope the weather is good. Now... as for what to wear... probably ye olde jeans and some comfy walking shoes. No costumes for me. I don't have a damn thing that could even masquerade as renaissance attire. No long skirts, no long dresses (unless you count some old bridesmaid gowns), no leftover Halloween costumes from years past (not that I would have worn anything renaissance-y for Halloween, either). So jeans it is. Huzzah!

Okay, I'm tired and I still don't know what I'm wearing to work tomorrow. God, I hope I don't have to iron.
