The Last Day....

Today was Friday. (Is Friday?)

My last day of relative anonymity at Highland High School. The next work day that I come through these doors, I will be followed by hordes (250-some) of students, all eager for knowledge.

That scares the living crap out of me at the moment. As I stated earlier in this blog, I do not handle nervous anticipation well. I can currently make myself physically ill just by thinking about Monday morning. I am sure that everything will be fine, but I just worry about it. A Lot. (See, Dave, I have learned to split that word into two pieces now!)

Today was a work day. My Lab is still a complete mess, with computers scattered about, old pieces and parts everwhere and nothing plugged in. I was assured that my Lab would be operational by Today. Now, the timeline says Monday. Hopefully.

This afternoon, I have finally gotten ONE computer in my room that works, so I have been able to put the finishing touches on my syllabi (due on the Principal's desk on Monday morning.) I still need to come back in sometime over the weekend to worry some more. No, actually, I still have some things to bring in and I want to try to make a final, last ditch effort to clean up the dead technology before Monday morning, if I can.

I put up all of the Lab artwork this afternoon. I think that it looks good! Most people that come in or through my Lab comment on how nice it looks. I am hoping that the Lab will have an inviting look that will make students want to be here (and want to work.)

Enough for now, I have to get home.
