First Day. Oh, what feelings those words evoke. Fear, excitement, eager anticipation, nervousness...and the list goes on. Well, today was my first day on the job as a third grade teacher...and the words "first day" bring a whole new list of words to my mind...none of which I will write here...I am trying to remain positive. All I can say at this point is that I am utterly thankful for my dear buddy from back home who called me and got an earful. So many thoughts and feelings at this point...none of which are appropriate to share here. I'm sure it will get better. If you think on it, though, send up a prayer for me in the coming weeks...or a couple prayers...things are off to a rough start. Thanks much.
