I've been so excited to be back at school. I've got a new bigger classroom this year, great new students and at the same time, I know all of last year's students still. It's good to be settling into a routine.

All in all the first few days of school are super. Except for this: I am tired.

I forgot how hard it is to stand on your feet all day, to engage all of your students even the shy ones, to try to remember all of their names and to stick to your lesson plans. I forgot that all of this makes you tired.

Wa, wa, wa. I know, I know.  It is the life of a teacher.

So here I am, sitting on my couch. I've got tired feet. And I'm yawning--a lot even though is only 9pm. On top of this, I don't feel very funny or clever making blogging less than exciting. <em>Sorry</em>.

Yep, that's what it comes down to. I am making tea. I am going to sit on my couch for maybe 20 more minutes and then, then I am going to bed. That's how great my life.

Don't get me wrong. I like teaching. I like my students. I like the routine of it. But I don't like being tired.

Luckily these things too pass. Soon it will all seem second nature. And I'll be going strong in the classroom and on the blog. Just give me a day or two. <em>Okay?</em> Thanks!
