Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It snows there. Plus, the traffic.
Gud, I hope stuff eases up for you.
I just want to go back to bed. Bah.

It's sort of common, in public school at least, because enrollment is always up in the air. Who knows how many kids will actually show up (esp. in transition years like kinder, 6th, and 9th) on opening day.
So, yeah. I dunno what I will be teaching at least grade wise and I'm trying to learn to be okay with that.

Poor guy. Sometimes I tune in to the evening news, on the off-chance they'll mention his health. Realistically, he's got an illness that is likely to be fatal.

What Kat said. I still don't know what I'm actually teaching when I start at the new school. I don't start until August, though, so I have a little more time. I can't imagine how stressful it would be to have to start teaching in a couple of weeks and still not know my preparations. Eesh.

Also, the fact that my current teaching gig ends on 6/30 and my new one starts on 7/5. It's a little bit of stress.

Eek, that's quick, Kat.

Yeah. well, glories of year round schooling. I should look for a school on a traditional calendar.
But am lazy.

Well yes, but you get cool chunks of time off during times that vacations are not absurdly expensive, too!
