I just got my ARC a little earlier than expected! Now to get a cell phone and a social life! Internet getting installed tomorrow morning!
Pushing back anxieties that I'm acting weird and bothering the other teachers is getting difficult. I'm feeling awkward today. I message folks to see who to hang out with and see if anything's going on. Let's see if anyone nibbles.
I'm not that strange. I'm not that strange. I only put my foot in my mouth occasionally. Everything is ok.
It's Friday! I'm quite excited about not needing to work tomorrow, just because it means my time is free for other things.

Good news on the electronic communication... you're on the grid and stay hooked in with your virtual community more easily. Interesting how SK uses the ARC to keep resident aliens away from the internet until they are registered.
ReplyDeleteYou're no weirder than anyone else we know. Wait...that doesn't help...you're more normal than me? :D
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what it is, but apparently I'm not the only teacher to experience this not making friends right off. It's difficult to break into a group dynamic without being invited. I felt needy and pushy, but now that I've talked to someone outside of the school who had similar experiences at her school, I feel a little less odd.
ReplyDeleteMeh, I'll do what I must to make it work.
