1st Day of 4th Grade!

I don't think "nervous" is a strong enough word to describe my feelings as I got ready for school this morning. Try "so nervous that my stomach was doing backflops and I was on the verge of throwing up" as I drove across Bryan. It probably didn't help that I've had a pretty nasty cough for the last 24 hours and so I would have coughing fits so much my stomach hurt, combined with the butterflies, it wasn't pretty...

I got to school about 20 minutes early (I didn't know how much traffic I would hit... turns out NOBODY is on the road at 7 AM), and so I had some time to just sit in my car and listen to music.

But, despite the anxiety of this morning, I had an INCREDIBLE first day! My mentor teacher is awesome and I know that I'm going to learn a lot about handling behavioral issues as well as working with gifted students and figuring out how to keep them engaged in learning.

It's a long day, but it's definitely fun!
