Hello...is this thing on?

Fulton County had a teacher work day today. I would like to get a teacher “work week” just to catch up. There is a lot going on this week, so sometimes it is nice to stay in the groove. Having Monday and Tuesday off, plus PSAT proctoring on Wednesday, really throws the proverbial wrench in the works. Why is year two more stressful than year one? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? I am not the only one who feels stressed. Some of the veteran teachers share the same sentiments. Last year, I was told by my faculty mentor that year one is all about survival. Year two is improving on year one, and by year three, “you should have it right.” It appears that year one has seeped into my year two. It is no wonder because it still feels like year one. I guess I will feel better when my studio is set up and functional. Two months into the second year of existence, and limited resources are making it difficult to survive.
