Couldn't Ask for More

The first two weeks of school went pretty smoothly. I've survived. The kids have been on a whole pretty good to me. I've starting to get use to the teacher schedule though I have to say that I'm still not used to getting up so early.

New York City Public Schools have quite a bit of holidays. Because Rosh Hashanah we had a 3 day week and a four day weekend this week! Yay! I think next week is going to seem very very long.

I still haven't found the balance between working, marking and prepping but hopefully that'll come with experience.

Last weekend I enjoyed walking through SoHo window shopping and also having dinner in Little Italy. Let me say adding alcohol to a meal makes it more pricey!

These two days I've been sorting out paper work and also lazying around relaxing and decompressing.

I'll get back to lesson planning and marking soon enough. Btw: Anyone else responsible for doing a bulletin board and decorating their classroom on the high school level? For all my female teacher buddies...FLATS are the way too go -painful feet experience from being on my feet walking around in heels (no matter how small).
