Today was the first day of school for kids. (We teachers were back to work last Wednesday). We’re going in early this year in order to finish up early so we can be out of the building in time for them to tear it down.

It was a good day, albeit hot. I wasn’t at all surprised to see our cool summer turn back to normal as soon as the kids started back. I also wasn’t surprised that the air conditioner in my room died. But thanks to our wonderful maintenance guy, it’s working again and hopefully can get us through August (and part of September). Next year, new building and air conditioning for all. Yay!

Should be a fun year. While I’ll be teaching, I’ll also be working on my Master’s Thesis. I’ve sent an updated idea off to my advisor and here’s hoping I’m on the right track now. If so, my goal is to have the proposal done before October and a goodly portion of the thesis itself done by the new year. Then I can spend the first couple of months of 2010 cleaning it up and getting ready to finish. Here’s hoping!

Looks like it’s gonna be a good year. Let’s hear it for school – yay! 🙂
