Hi. I am officially back at work this week. Actually, I am officially at work right as I type this!
Yesterday, we had a great opening meeting as a staff here at IHS. I even got to lead an activity. We did "If You Really Knew Me..." as a staff. It was completely awesome. I feel so connected to the people I work with, even the newest members of the team! If you were to ask me a year ago to lead something for the whole school, I would not have done it. I am really liking this new Alice. I really was changed for the good back in July at Next Step training. (see previous blog about Challenge Day, if you are totally confused!) I also am in charge of the Junior Advisor Team. We call ourselves The Top Ten because our kids will graduate in 2010! Today, I will get to see some of the kids in my Leadership class and I am pretty excited about that. It really doesn't seem like we are back to school until I actually am able to interact with my students! We got a lot of work done yesterday including planning an outing to a museum to learn about Da Vinci! My team rocks!
I stayed at work until 6pm. It is always humorous to me that I will stay and chat with other teachers until later in the evening. We really don't have lives. It is nice to be back with my friends!
Janette and I watched the Olympics on her HUGE flat screen TV last night. I keep telling her that this TV really could be a man magnet. She just needs to start picking up nice looking men and taking them to stand in front of her TV. I am sure within about 5 seconds there would be a marriage proposal! It still is so fun to watch Michael Phelps swim. He is just amazing. Talk about a fish! I would marry him, if he asked! It is good to have imaginary boyfriends to cheer on during the Olympics!
Well, I don't really have anything else. Please remember to recycle and to smile, it keeps people wondering. Not the recycling: you will just be considered a green person. Smiling, on the other hand, will make people wonder!

I wish I was there. (Actually I am getting really excited about my school here.) We had a good meeting today and I am really excited. Today someone found out what I was teaching and she used to teach it and was like good luck. They never come to class and they all fail. So now I know it wont be too big of an adjustment. I am going to love it.
