Teacher planning marks the end of summer

It's teacher planning week! I know I'm back at school because:

1. I ate two and a half donuts today.

2. All photocopiers in the general vicinity are broken.

3. Words like rubric and curriculum and percentiles are being bandied about.

4. I've been getting hungry for lunch at 11 a.m. (even after two and a half donuts).

5. Finding a box of dry erase markers felt like winning the Lotto.

6.  9 p.m. is feeling like a perfectly normal bedtime.

7.  I feel compelled to tell strangers to put their phones away.

8. The mirror in the bathroom is made out of some unknown fun-house metal instead of glass.

9. I've been hearing people in whispered negotiations over LCD projectors, podiums and copies of paperback titles.

10. I almost couldn't go home because my car was surrounded by tubas in the parking lot.

11. I received a piece of paper that says I will be in charge of 209 teen-age humans on Monday.

  2. Sorry to say, your cousin can relate! Not 209 humans, only 15, but copier is always out of paper or not working, there are never staples in any of the staplers, have to hunt around for a scissors (or a pencil) and can't find a seat in the Teacher's Lounge! My bedtime is 8 PM!
