School Starts Tomorrow!!
The key to a good first day is feigning confidence. I’m currently feigning so well that I’ve even convinced myself I know what I’m doing! 
Well, I do know what I’m doing for the first half of the day, for the Spanish afternoon portion–anybody’s guess. I’m sure I’ll figure something out (see, there goes the fake confidence again! Whee!). If nothing else, I have cookies for them, so they’ll like me. And probably go berserk from all the sugar at the all-school first day assembly, making me look like I can’t control a class. Maybe I’ll rethink that one.
In other news, Jamie and I have all but bought a new car. He’s having it checked out by a mechanic tomorrow and giving the guy a check and then I’ll get to drive a new car to school Wednesday! We’ve named it Albus.
Today I cleaned the house (it feels like I won’t have time for such things for a really long time, but I keep forgetting there’s such a thing as weekends and boundaries–not letting work take over my life) and Jamie and I took a walk around Greenlake. It was delightful–very good people/dog watching.
Now I think it’s bedtime. Unfortunately, First-Day-of-School-Eve is a lot like Christmas Eve–I lay in bed knowing I’m tired but can’t sleep. Sigh.

Have fun at school!
I like that you named your car Albus. Just as long as its middle name isn’t Severus.

You should rethink your decision to give cookies to your students, and then plan on visiting your parents soon…

How’d it go?
I was trying to think arrogant thoughts all week. I am so good. They are lucky to have me. I’ve been trained for this - it’s totally natural. Things like that. It helps, I think.
