classroom chaos

it has started.  the before school freak out.  it happens every year, but this year seems to be different and i'm not really sure why.   i left my classroom fairly organized in june.  

yesterday, when i walked into my room, i quickly realized that wasn't still the case.   in fact, i pretty much walked in, turned in a couple circles, felt like i could lose it, and then walked out.  today, i walked in, didn't know where or how to start, and then found myself tackling the filing cabinet.   made some progress, but not enough.

i wish it didn't feel creepy to just stay up there late and get it done, but it does.  tomorrow, game on.  i hope!!
