Sneaking a little break...
Aug. 21st, 2007 01:21 pmTaking a really quick five minute break from work--here was my checklist at the beginning of the day:
Seating chart
Notecards (for intro activity)
Look up names
Lesson plans
Syllabus
Music
Folders
Calender
And here's where I stand on all of that lovely stuff...
Seating chart
Notecards (for intro activity)
Look up names (I'm about half-done with this)
Lesson plans (They're scribbled down and thought out--just need to be typed)
Syllabus
Music
Folders
Calender
The nice thing is that the folders and music can actually wait a little longer. The first day (tomorrow!!) is going to be introductions, housekeeping stuff, etc. And then because of the way the day has been arranged, I will not have them again until Friday, so I'll have an extra day to get that in order. The calender is my Big Honking Desktop Calender Thing. Again, not a priority.
So I've really almost got everything ready to go for tomorrow. The one that's killing me the most is the syllabus @_@ It's taking forever to write, and I'm going crazy trying to write it...but I'm going to take my school laptop (who has inherited the name Ari, BTW--still need a name for my desktop at home) with me to the middle school for Meet the Teacher Night and try to work on it more there. And if I need to come in tomorrow morning a little early to run copies, so be it :3
Although...I was just informed about something regarding one of the students in my class. And my nerves just went WHOOSH through the roof ~.~ I can't say what it is, but I'm really, really freaked out about it *worryworryworry*
Oh, and last night was kind of funny. Around eleven, I popped a sleeping pill. Then I was going to go take a shower, but got distracted by shiny stuff on the computer. Then I went to my room, and nearly crashed right there. But I needed a shower, so I got up and toodled into the bathroom...and nearly fell asleep with my head against the shower wall. Twice. That sleeping pill was AMAZING.
...only downside was that I crashed for about seven hours instead of the prescribed eight, so waking up was tough liek whoa. So I figure I'll pop it a little earlier tonight and get to bed early. Tomorrow is a reeeeeeeally big day >.>;;
Okay, that's enough of a ramble. Back to getting my lesson plans done and this name list typed up! *victory pose*
