To be clear, I am emotionally ready--even downright excited--about the first day of school tomorrow. Sadly, I am not as prepared as I would like to be for this coming week, let alone this school year, at this point. In previous years, this would have put me into a bit of a frenzied state, leading me to stay up entirely too late and being rather groggy on my first morning.
Unfortunately, one of the reasons that I'm behind is that I've felt a little under the weather ever since my return flight from Michigan (illness from return flights being an ongoing theme this year). I spent much of this weekend in bed or on a couch trying to sleep away the exhaustion that hit me, but I'm still pretty tired. Thus, I'm headed to bed after finishing this post, comforted in the fact that I have everything ready for tomorrow (at the minimum) and should be able to get at least the next few days ready using a combination of my prep time and tomorrow afternoon.
Normally, I'd be concerned that this lack of preparedness would lead to teaching nightmares or difficulty sleeping; however, I'm strangely content at the moment, so I think I should be fine.
