First Day Jitters

Tomorrow is the first day of school. I can't even explain how nervous and anxious I am.  As you can probably guess I am a school teacher and no matter how many years I've done this, I still get nervous for the first day of school.  However, this time my anxiety is 10 times that it normally is because this year I am at a new school in a new school district.  Not only that, I was hired about 2 weeks ago and have been scrambling to get my room to look at least respectable for when students arrive bright and early tomorrow. 

Now from my post your first impression is probably that I am an negative, see the glass half empty kinda gal, but in all actuality I'm the totally opposite. I am able to (usually) see that silver lining in that quintessential cloud.  I know once the students enter my room all my worries and fears will disappear.  I will survive and the key to this all is not to show my discomposure in fromt of the students, because everyone know just like bees and dogs, kids can always smell fear! :)
