Even though I have not had my schedule revolve around the school year for 5 years now, I still get a bit anxious when it comes time for school to start. I guess it's just been ingrained in my system. While I was still teaching middle school, I had lots of dreams where I had forgotten to prepare a lesson or didn't realize the school year had begun or that my school had been moved many miles down the road. They were all awful and made me feel horrible, even after I woke up and realized it had just been a dream.
Well, last night I had another one of those "I'm teaching but not at all ready for the year to begin" kind of dreams. At first it was dreadful. I had no idea what was going on, who was in my classes or even where I was. But then I realized that I had an assistant there to help me out. And he was fantastic. He had all the seating charts put together, had lessons ready to go and was even kind of funny. It wasn't until right before I woke up that I finally recognized him.

Can I be your student teacher??
I still have dreams that I am unprepared as a student. I must be the fake and flaky, ditzy student in your imaginary class. At least we can spend some time together in our dreams ;0). Lets do a movie sometime soon... Call Jan and I'll get Lindsay!
