rue du bagel!

Not dead, just teaching. *g* I survived my first week, and will be posting more on my teaching filter once I'm a bit more organized (comment here if you want to be added to it!). I've been wavering between exhausted and overly emotional for good two-thirds of the time and sleeping for the rest. I've also been gradually moving into narnia_girl's and my new apartment, which is really nice - two floors, lots of space and light.

I had a dream last night that I was walking in France with my mom and we were looking for a bistro called Rue du Bagel to have breakfast in! *g* Along the way, we passed Rue du Cannes, which was a bakery with a lot of fancy cakes in the window. No, I don't know why I persisted giving street names to eateries. In any case, I felt sufficiently European this morning to have a double shot of espresso, but they didn't give me a demitasse (essential for pretending you're in Italy and do not have grading to do, I find), so I added milk and sugar to get a makeshift latte. *g*

Ooh, please add me to your teaching filter so we can trade war stories.

Where are you teaching?

Congrats on the apartment--moving can be stressful but it's a chance to start over, which can be fun.

Added! I'm teaching all three grades of middle school science at a brand new pre-engineering magnet. 0_o

And thanks - it's good to be getting out of my parents' house again! (When I moved back from Vancouver, I moved in with them, and things can get tense at times.)

When do you start teaching?

Classes start September 4, but this week and next are filled with orientations and other things I have to go in for.
