One week to go...

School is supposed to start one week from today, and it's getting into high gear. We had another workshop today, and during lunch the math department met to get the ball rolling on starting up, getting out books and other supplies, and the like. Tomorrow, I'm meeting with some of my colleagues to discuss the actual math program I'll be teaching (I'm one of two -- out of eight math teachers in the school -- who will only be teaching eighth grade math). Thursday is teacher prep day, and I presume we'll get keys and schedules and the like. After that, quietly prepare for the opening of school next Tuesday and hope that we actually get to start that day...
