needed: nap time

[rose_griffes]

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.

It sounds kind of fun to decorate a room, though maybe not so much if it's your job. I hope you get some rest and relaxation before school starts back up.

Thanks! It's a good thing I didn't get much put on the walls yet, as we just found out about some weird new regulations made up by our fire marshall limiting how much wall space we can actually decorate. The elementary teachers must be spitting mad! *g*
