School Spirit

There’s just over a week to go before the school year starts for 2008. It’s about this time that most of us think about wandering into the classroom from time to time leading up to that first day to start getting bits and pieces ready. Fiddle around here and there, straightening stuff up, putting labels on the kids’ lockers. The more done in this week, the less worry on that one day of work we have without the kids. After that first day, the kids are here and it’s all hands on deck, hold on tight and we’ll see you in the staffroom at the end of the day. The first beer might be free, after that, it’s regular prices to raid the fridge.

Mind you… I’ve been ready to head back to work and get involved with the kids for the last week already. Probably says something about me, but that’s okay. To be honest, this has been the first holidays I think I can remember when I’ve managed to walk around town fairly regularly without ANY kids actually meeting me and calling out in public. Not that I don’t mind that, it just usually happens five times every day I drive into town.

Anyway. Time to start getting the house in order so it’s at least liveably clean before the first term starts up.

And fiddle with the School Spirit webcomic. I’ve managed to put the holidays to good use and have a backlog that will see the strip through almost to the end of term one, so it’s not a mad rush to get any more done right at the moment. I can take it easy for a while now.

Right. I’ll wander back and put something else up if anything vaguely important happens in the next few days.

Cheers.
