Of course, in typical first-day of school misery, there was no air conditioning for half the morning. My room tends to be extra chilly year round, enough so that I was comfortably wearing sweaters through the last day of school, and you know I'm afraid to complain because then it might get hot.
Last week, while other teachers were roasting while putting up their bulletin boards, I was feeling cool. I love my classroom!
Why should I expect there to be no air conditioning on the first day, then?
Afterall, our school is a mere two years old.
Like that matters.
There are just too many days where the heating and cooling are wonky.
Of course, the first day of school has to be one of them.
Outside this morning it was unusually cold--in the 70s! Therefore, it was actually cooler outside than inside. Bizarre for August here!
So, I was ever so happy (right!) to make a first impression as the sweaty English teacher. Embarrassing.
Oh, how was my day other than that? Well, it had its moments...

Oh, the economies of scale in an era of cutting corners on payroll!
On the bright side, I always found that if I brought in a big fan from home, I could usually scrounge a bin of ice from the cafeteria and make my own cool air...
