The Beginning of the End

Or is it simply "the beginning?"

I always lament the end of summer, but when the beginning of school comes, I'm always ready and excited. Today was our first day of inservice. I can't honestly say that anything profound happened, but it was great to hang out with the old CHS crew. Some of my best friends at school are in the Fine Arts department (of course all the art teachers are great, along with Josh, Bobby, and Taylor; she's the one pictured above and is the captain of our co-ed volleyball league team). It is great to be Fine Arts, because we feel free to be wild and have fun. So when it came time to take department pictures, we grabbed some wigs and canes from the prop room and snapped some amazing pictures. As you can see from the picture above, my look was not all that unusual, as it turned out. When I saw the pictures I realized it was more of a throw-back look to the middle of last year. Funny stuff.

So tomorrow is convocation, and I'm sure more wackiness will ensue. I just hope I have time to make all the copies I need, get all the work done, and begin to feel a bit more prepared for this year.
