I am skipping the gym today and heading to work early in order to prepare for my first day as the 7th grade ELA teacher at Heming Way Middle School (not a Hemingway fan, just easy to remember). I am nervous as h-e- 🏒 🏒 .

I still have to select an outfit and wipe the gunk off my shoes. I still have a lot of harnessing to do. I have two organizers to build. About a million things to carry from my car to my classroom. I hope it’s warmer today.

Wish me luck today. I’ll let you know how it goes.
