Nope. Not how many days until school starts. This is how many spider bites I found on my left leg yesterday morning. My basement room, although I have made it cozy, is a breeding ground for spiders. I was not sure what the bites were, but my colleagues are thinking a spider had a hayday on my leg. In the meantime, it's red and swollen. Ick.

Number of students who left my class as of yesterday: 2
Number of students enrolled in my class: 21
Relief I feel at having fewer students: 100%
Number of subjects I feel prepared to teach: 0.5
Number of subjects I will be teaching: 6
Number of subjects I will be teaching if you count all the language arts components: 10
Number of times my principal used a fishing analogy at the NWCSI workshop: 8
Number of times I made fun of my principal for using a fishing analogy: 8
Dollar amount my salary dropped after making fun of my principal for using a fishing analogy: $3,000
Just kidding about that last one.

The NW was lovely, I wanted to stay longer, especially when I came home and it was hot. (i don't think that exists in the NW.
Anyhow, I hope teaching goes well and all

Money doesn't buy happiness, right? So even if you took a pay cut you'd still be just as happy, right?
Ok, I give up, I'm really grasping at straws here...
Happy teaching.... fabulous countdown. I miss you!
