Stuff - school stuff

The first day of school was Tuesday

Since I wasn't scheduled for lunch duty,

All I had to do at my first job site was library stuff.

Of course, I didn't get to see any of the students yet

- library doesn't officially open for a couple of weeks

Tomorrow will be one and a half hours of lunch duty

Not sure if I can handle that

But I'll try

But at the second job site- that's a different story

I went back on Friday to prepare

computer/deskwork on Friday and Mondy

Severe neck and shoulder pain each night (Oh.My.God)

Today was our first day

At our school (and probably at most)

Our afterschool program begins the first day of school

We roll over the students-

Not literally of course (c'mon, really?LOL)

We see who shows up the first week

any who didn't show up, we drop

then we open it up for other students...

seems a little difficult for new kids to get in then, doesn't it?

This is the first school that I've worked at that does it this way.

at the first school I did afterschool program,

it was first come, first serve.

EVER one had to fill out papers every year

Just because your kid was in the year before was no guarantee that they would be in again.

Not so here

I'm still not sure which I prefer, but...

We had 83 students show up today

At the end of the school year last year we had 134 students enrolled

I'm sure more will show up tomorrow

So Far, everything went smoothly for the first day

The staff from the city parks and rec department (we sub contract out) seem to be competent

I've worked with four of them before, so I know they'll be great

The other two, and a third that starts next week, are unknown to me

I have NO idea what they'll be like

Hopefully not Bat-Shi-Crazy

I haven't been able to do much on the computer

tired

No It's Teaser Tuesday this week

No Waiting On Wednesday

No reviews waiting to be written (think I caught up last week)

I'm still reading Spin State, although I haven't been able to read much this week so far

I'm going to start (actually I have read the first two chapters) of When Blood Calls (J Beck)

Will be starting The Replacement soon

Still need to read a book for the GLBT challenge - it's a toss up between Jes Battis or Tanya Huff

I have books for both here - maybe I can get both read

Received from my British Book Fairy the first two Marjorie M. Liu books

Tiger Eye

&

Shadow Touch

They came in the mail on Tuesday

So happy!

:)

I'm such a nerd, I get very happy whenever I get a book in the mail or from the bookstore

Don't care if it's used or brand-new

Love Books

Which reminds me -

Would anyone be interested in Moonshine (Alaya Johnson) if I hole another book contest?

Only five people entered the last one, but I'm willing to do it, if you're willing to enter!

Okay - Later, folks...and

Thank You, My "over-the-pond" Book Fairy!

I appreciate it SOOO much!
