N.1.H.1

I have never seen such a stir made over something so...normal. But still, we go over the same thing constantly--wash your hands, sneeze/cough into your elbow, NOT your hand, do not lick the same stamp that someone else has licked, do not lick the desks that students have touched, and don't ever touch your eyes...mmm, better be safe and never touch any part of your face...EVER. P.S. keep using the anti-bacterial soap sixty-eight times per day, even though the anti-bacterial soap also kills the good bacteria...just sayin'...

Anyway, following all of the rules to avoid getting N1H1 does not mean that you will not have the nastiest respiratory cold ever...and a fever...and a sore throat...and possibly bronchitis. So I have been laid up for 75% of this week trying to fight this thing. Whatever it is, it's got me.

Right, well, first days of school went well. I got to make and teach a lesson already, and my mentor is really open to me participating, rather than just observing. This rocks. I'm having trouble learning names, as Brent has already learned all of them and no longer has them use name tags. Maybe I'll go online to study faces/names.

I feel like I've been writing so much in my journal that I really don't have much to blog about. :-/ Hmm...
