t-minus 8 days

I've fallen off the face of the earth, swimming in the abyss of time and heat and paralyzing fear and pure laziness that has been my summer hermitage. But is the eve of my return to the working world.

I get a brand new batch of children on August 11th. Math and Science (for real this time). I've got the same classroom, more work, less kids, and one week to get ready for the insanity. Here we go again.

the summer countdown

It's really overwhelming, the whole thing. Second year is coming up if I can get my act together. It has to be a better year for my kids, or else why am I doing it?

About a month left of my summer. And it is beginning to sink into the pit of my stomach the task ahead.
