For better or for worse, summer is pretty much over. Now it's back to work, back to school, and probably a little stress. I've had a very relaxing summer, though I've been a bit bored the last few weeks. It will be nice to get back into a routine. I've got big dreams for the upcoming school year. I have the feeling most of them will be dashed within the first few weeks, but I have to keep hoping.
We've had quite a few faculty shake-ups here at school. Lots of people quitting or retiring. I've noticed that many of the teachers here are very clique-y. You have the young popular teachers, and the older established teachers, and then the athletic coaches. Very weird. As one teacher left at the end of the school year, she warned me to be careful of who I made friends with, for fear that I would be the next fly in their spider's web. While I appreciate that she was trying to look out for me, I can take care of myself. I have, however, decided that the best thing for me to do this year is my job. If that means secluding myself in my office, so be it. At least then, no one can say that I did or said something to offend anyone, or cost me my job. This may change as the year goes on, but for now, we'll see what happens.
