Back to School

I don't know why every year I am surprised that summer has come to an end. But, alas, I've been attending countless meetings this week in preparation for the maniacs kiddos to arrive on Monday. While it was (and still is) hard to wake up early in the morning, I am excited for another year. I feel refreshed and prepared.

This morning, just as I was preparing for lunch, one of my incoming students and her mother were in to tour the building and find her classrooms. Mom had thoughtfully bought the most glorious slice of triple chocolate layer cake for me, and one for each of my teammates, too. Her rationale was that "everything is better with chocolate." I have a feeling we'll get along just fine. If this is any indication of how my year will go, then I am optimistic. Although as with any other school year, I will have a stash of chocolate in my desk drawer for chocolate emergencies.
