Well, it's Monday! And guess what that means. Yup, first day of junior high volleyball practice. I've been told that I will have approximately 25 girls in volleyball this year. (I've also been told that if there are a lot of girls, they will hire an assistant coach to help me. Only 4 years too late!)
Today's classes are mainly going to have notes. Although Life Science (7th grade), had a class meeting (the sponsor is my wife) to elect officers. Biology (10th grade, the class I sponsor) will also have a class meeting to elect officer and discuss fundraising activities. Notes however have been much easier since I purchased a new mouse for the computer. The computer and projector are at the back of the room, and I really don't like lecturing to the back of heads. The mouse, Logitech V200 in red, is really sweet. It has a range of 30 feet which is more than enough, and it fits in the palm of my hand. Hopefully this will help with notes.
Wednesday is Honor Society Inductions. Hopefully it will go ok.

Start of a New (School) Year, baseball update, baby update
Yes, as reported on the other site, the new school year has started. Actually, as I teacher, I had to start last Friday (Aug. 18), but today was the first day for students.
It was a fun day, but man am I tired now!
-------------------------
Baseball update: MN Twins make ground in AL Wildcard race. Woo hoo!!!! Can the twins make the playoffs. Personally, I don't think so, although I would love to see it happen. With Liriano out, I don't know if the starting rotation will be able to keep pace with the White Sox (if they even can hold together themselves.) Radke has basically got a bum throwing arm, Santana apparently has blisters on the throwing hand, who knows what is going on with Silva, etc. If they start gettting too banged up, I would hope they don't do something stupid just to make the wild card.
-------------------------
Baby Update: I purchased glacierbaby's first big items last thursday (yup, the day before school started). I purchased the crib, changing table, and stroller/car seat. Plus, I got them all put together on the same day. I must say, putting the stroller together was more difficult than I had originally thought it would be. The easiest to put together was the crib. Anyway, there is now a layer of aluminum foil on the crib mattress (in the crib). I had read somewhere that the foil is a pretty good deterent for cats. The jump in, but don't like the sound/texture/etc. of the foil and never jump in again. Who knows if it works?

First Day of School
Well today is the first day of school!!!!!
The students are pretty excited. I'm excited. Still trying to get mentally organized though.
It is supposed to get to 97 degrees today, so school will be warm.
Only negative, the superintendent was supposed to go through the handbook with the students in our morning assembly. Instead, he made the teacher's go through it, which screwed up my plans for first period.
Anyway, its good to be back at school.
