The first one went to school without issue. Unfortunately he will also sleep in class. I hear it from the teachers all the time. HS students that start school at 7:25 sleep in class. Hard to get mad at him when I sure as hell would be snoring at my desk.
Time to get the next one going.
I am actually excited to get to work today because my dear assistant will be back. Oh how I have missed her. She might get excited when she sees the disaster area of an office, but she is up to the task. We put in big racks but that meant everything got piled up elsewhere, and well big mess.

Sending some extra love and ~ma to Vortex this morning. Peace and strength to you. You have been in my thoughts and prayers all weekend.
Oh my gronk. It is too early. So not ready to teach today.
Also seconding vibes for Vortex and her family.
Yes, snuggles and hairpats and delicious sweet food (into which some semblance of nutrition has been injected so want to eat it and actually derive value from it) to Vortex and her whole family.

When I was 18 and in college, my beginning typing class started at 7:05 am.
It was like going to hell.

I remember Freshman Biology lectures at FSU (with 1500 students) starting at 8:00.
That was the year I learned what classes to save for summer sessions.
I voluntarily took a 7am class my senior year of HS, but it was Microbiology and I luuuuuuuuuuurved it. (The reason it was so early is because it was a mixed class with students from a few different schools, so they held it early in the morning to let everyone get back to their regular school more or less on time.)
it feels weird not to be going back to school today. This was always the first day in MN.
Gronk. I finally slept well two nights in a row, so why am I more tired than when I wasn't sleeping at all?
So I got to school this morning and was told as I went to sign in: "No school! State of emergency!" As it had only been declared half an hour earlier, none of the teachers had been forewarned, and only some of the kids had been contacted in time - those that arrived had to be returned home asap. After our staff meeting, I spent the day pottering around doing much-needed admin things in my classroom. It was...odd. Sort of limbo-ish.
This is a slightly less fun holiday than Tree Day (when a falling tree cut off our electricity at school, and neccesitated a day off), but so far all seems to be fairly calm in Bangkok. Don't know whether we'll be going in tomorrow - probably, although I know several other schools are taking at least 2 days off to be on the safe side. We shall see how things unfold.
