Feelings of the forthcoming year

I am glad to see that the carpet guys are again at the school. Each day they are there gets me closer to being able to get back into my room and get it put back together. I wish I had realized that they weren't going to come until the end of the summer. I hurriedly packed up everything to get out quickly in June. I wish I had sorted and cleaned more then rather than hurried the process.

I would like to have time to clean and sort before the students come but I have run out of time. It is hard to get in the right attitude to begin. Changes always leave me with a sense of wonder and worry. The past two years of working with Sandra was wonderful. I think that we worked very well together. We were truly a "team." I will miss that. It makes the change a little awkward.

I am excited about working with Paula though. We have attended several workshops together and it will be fun. She is a very creative person. ( I am so jealous that she is able to get into her room and start preparing for the new year! :-) I am very anxious to do that!)
