The Year of Hell, Entry 1

This is a new series of themed entries, based around my experiences as a first year teacher.

I'm going insane. I've got classes beginning Monday, and I just got my curriculum today. I spent three hours going over the curriculum for my 9th grade Literacy class. Tomorrow I'm going back in to get my room put together--it's a mess, and if I hadn't had a billion things to do today, I'd have spent all day doing it. Yeesh.
