September 5 -- First day at the new job

There is this thing that I haven't had to do much for quite a while, it is called, getting to work on time.  The hours with my retail/data entry job have been flexible for the most part.  As long as I got the work done on time I could be in the stores whenever it was open.  This is not the case with working in a school.  I made it to work on time, but there was no real time to spare.  Tomorrow I am hoping for time to spare.

Other than that my day seemed to go alright.  But mid morning I had kind of settled in a bit with what I felt I should be doing.  Whether I will ever get to know the names of all the students or not remains to be seen.  Some of them remind me of other people and that is helping.  They all seem to be a good bunch.  The schedule is going to be interesting for me to learn. It alternates, I believe every other day.

After school I did my other job.  I am weary, but I am worried I won't be able to sleep.  I need to get up in about 6 hours.  It was supposed to be an early night...

There was that point today where things started to click.  When I realized that it was okay for me to wander between the desks and look at the students papers-at least to see that they were doing their work-and even to see if they needed help occasionally.  That part of today is my happy.

Clouds--because I love 'em.
