Even though it is the middle of August, we are back in school. I could spend a lot of time complaining about our early start date and providing incredibly logical reasons why we should still be on summer break, but I won't.
I always get excited for the possibilities of each new year. Back in college, I really liked getting new syllabi and seeing the plan of what I was expected to do. I realize this is incredibly nerdy, but I'm okay with that. Somehow, I doubt most of my students felt the same way when I went through the plan for our year together. Even so, I think I'm going to have a great group of students this year. (And I'm not just saying this because I may use this as an example in class for the blog project.)
Despite this, it is hard to get back into the swing of things...for all of us, teachers and students alike. It seemed like everything broke the first day, and nothing really went as planned. And even though I think I'm really going to have fun with my students this year, I miss my students from last year. It's strange not to see the same faces in the same seats.
It will be interesting to see how this year goes and the events that happen. It will be an adventure...that is for sure.
