45 — The number of minutes it took me to arrive at work this morning. Commutes suck.
1 — The number of lattes I consumed this morning.
1700 — The number of lattes I wish I’d had this morning.
2 — The number of red heels on my feet this morning.
2 — The number of feet that were going to fall off or bleed out by the end of the day.
101 — The number of 8th graders I will be battling with teaching this year.
6 — The number of periods I teach.
252 — The number of minutes I spent TALKING today. Yes, I hate the sound of my own voice.
3 — The number of students I had to tell to stop talking while I was talking today.
65 — The number of minutes it took me to commute home today.
100 — The temperature outside. Did I mention that my car’s AC is broken? Because it totally is.
1 — Number of former students that came to visit me today.
It was a good first day back. The first day is a total honeymoon, so you never can tell. My biggest issue? I wore high heels. Rookie mistake.

I CAN’T believe you wore heels. Have you learned nothing? In other new, my summer vacay is off to a great start.

Awww, hoping for an improvement on some of those numbers tomorrow! It’s not 101 degrees here, but it was…. hang on I must do a conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit… about 95 today. And my car doesn’t even HAVE air-conditioning. But you read my car post, so that should not be shocking

You had your frist day of school already? That sucks. School is not for another couple of weeks down here. Well, good luck. I know I couldn’t do it. I think it is my lack of patience or my overwhelming sense to knock them on the head when they ask stupid quesitons.

I don’t think I could be a teacher because of the talking-all-day factor. I hate when I have to train people at work because I feel like I’m talking too much. I hate hearing my own voice in monologue. It makes me just want complete silence when I get home.

Give it a couple week and I’m sure you’ll be perfectly back in the swing of things.
Why does your school start so early?

I am so proud of you wearing heels! Oh, and the fact that they were red makes me beam with happiness!
