Oh, I forgot

Today, I realized I forgot more than just my usernames to school things over the summer. This blog is a list of the things I've forgotten:

• that the main office at a school is a place I'm drawn to and repelled by, all at the same time
• the way the custodians can rip apart my classroom in an effort to vacuum
• how heavy a kidney shaped table is and how hard it is to unflip it after the afore mentioned vacuuming lands it on another table - legs up
• how to think about something and drive on a freeway without swerving
• how to extract myself from conversations with cranky teachers
• the art of making a classroom look different than the year before
• how to feel a sense of excitement for the beginning of the school year.

I have exactly six days to remember.
