Happy Little Things for September 1

It was the first day of the school year today. It's always exhausting, because I have to switch from being a lazy, self-centered couch load to being on my feet all day, attempting to engage herds of 40 teenagers at a time for 56 minutes.  But it was a good day.  The best part was that many of my former students made a point to stop into my classroom to say hello.  It is nice to reconnect with colleagues and students.
