August has come to an end...

Today was my third day at my new job and the first time that I have gone to my old job in the same day as the new one.  Needless to say I am tired.  The first day of school is next Tuesday, that is when I will meet the students.  This first week was professional development and learning some about the student IEP's.  Everyone seems so nice and helpful.

One of the presentations included showing us part of a TedTalk that I had seen before by Shawn Achor.  I'm not sure, and I am not going to go back in my blog right now to find out if I have linked this before or not, but I believe that is the one I saw that started me blogging my happy every day last year.  Many of the concepts that are being suggested for using with the students are methods that I used, or at least tried to use, home schooling my children.

It has taken me 4 hours to write the last 2 paragraphs because I kept falling asleep.  I think that means I need to sleep instead of write.  The last 3 days have been rather overwhelming with all the information being provided and the team building, meeting new people and learning so many things.  I have had a feeling that so much of it is some how familiar too.  Like this is where I am supposed to be now, and that is my happy for today.
