Last night I got to sleep sometime after 12:30. I set the alarm for 4:30 this morning. What time did I wake up? 4:27. That’s just not cool. So I lay there until the alarm actually went off. Then I stayed lying down until the snooze alarm went off once, then I got up.

I have an outline for class today. I have handouts. I’ve been trying to visualize how I’d set up the classroom and how I’d greet the class. These are a new bunch of kids to me. I’ve gotten off to a rather rocky start, but I want today to go smoothly.

Wish me luck.
