Back at School

Howdy Ya'll,

I am officially back in the swing of things. I have set myself up in my old room, and it feels semi-comfortable to be back.

The past few days have been perhaps the most boring days of my professional career. Day one was spent reviewing insurance. I probably should have been paying attention, as this information will probably help me in the future; however, I wanted to see how many times I could fit the alphabet on a standard sheet of paper. I think I was up in the thirties before I lost feeling in my hand (side note - I was wondering if there is workman's comp for the pain I suffered in my writing hand?).

Today we had a staff meeting in which the superintendent addressed us on the policies and procedures of PILC. He paid particular attention to certain "important" points of the handbook. One of these points involved the appearance of staff. The superintendent informed us that he prefers when people are clean shaven. After saying this, many of the teachers broke out into laughter. When Mr. J (the superintendent) asked what was so funny, a few people mentioned how his last comment had probably ruined my school year. I managed to laugh myself, but it was mostly because they have no idea Jesus is about to be back in full force.

I am heading to Macy, Nebraska this thursday to pick up some of our students from the Omaha tribe. It is an overnight trip, and I am sure that I willl have some interesting stories to tell when I get back. Until then, I will leave you all with love. Hope to hear from people soon.
