Jitters

It's the day before the first day of school and I am feeling very odd.

I am excited,
I am depressed,
I am melancholy,
I am anxious,
I am nervous,
I am confident.

I look around the house and see so many things left undone, despite having so much time off from work. My book, in particular. I fell short of my goal but I am not giving up, and I am climbing back in the saddle of discipline.

This summer did involve some special memories, notably the week in Chicago at the SAIC. So many lovely and talented people are now part of my life, and the inspiration from that week will affect me (and my students) for the foreseeable future.

And I just ordered a kick-ass Pentax camera. Yippee!!!

oooooo! hee hee!
