needed: nap time

I worked a bit in my classroom today. Set up tables and such--I don't have desks, just two-seater tables and lots of chairs. Right now they're in very boring rows; I'm having to remind myself that boring is okay for the first couple of weeks. I'm also reminding myself that I don't have to decorate every square inch of wallspace; I can leave some parts empty for the students' work.

Anyway. I need to sort through my bookshelves and files and... y'know, this whole phase of getting ready for school to actually start is a bit maddening sometimes. What I really want is time to read through some of the pedagogy and curriculum texts that I've recently acquired. What I'm getting--a bunch of boring meetings telling me stuff that I already know.

Enough whining. Go click on my bsg:fic link on delicious.com and read some of the stuff I've finally had a chance to read and bookmark. Too many stories to link individually right now, plus I'm still not completely caught up on reading (and commenting!) and bookmarking.
