Still Not Ready

On Monday, I worked all day at school putting everything back up on my walls, but I'm still not ready for the Acceptance Stage.

Tuesday I moved all the furniture in place, got rid of a huge table I don't need, and replaced labels on the bookshelves in my library. I agreed to teach a 5th/6th grade split this year. My former teammate whom I can't stand refused to give me an extra student desk, even though she had 32 student desks in her room, and I knew that she'd only have about 27 or 28 students this year. I'm still not ready for the Acceptance Stage.

Today I sat in meetings all day. I have the Curriculum Map for writing for this year. I get to keep the same schedule I had signed up for last June, even though now I'm not teaching a straight 5th grade. They almost made me change my specialist schedule, but it would have been an awful schedule with all of my specialists on the same day, leaving me some days with no breaks at all. And now I get to keep my great schedule. But I'm still not ready for the Acceptance Stage.

I'm still not ready.
