... And We're Back! What exactly does one say after an absence of this magnitude? I dunno. So I won't.

But here's the deal. I'm officially a teacher now, and I spent a good deal of last summer daydreaming about publishing a novel based on my experiences as a first year teacher. And for the first few months, I was able to go home at night and write out scenes, stories, and anecdotes from the classroom.

Eventually I started slacking, mostly because I was just plain exhausted at night. Sadly, this means that many of my best and funniest stories are pretty much lost. Oh, sure, I know the stories - but they've dulled considerably even when I think about them now.

So this blog will henceforth be my repository of classroom stories. Let the games begin.  ¶ 7:26 PM
