Today I had fun. I let kids use their phones in class (check out Poll Everywhere), we watched a cool video they were engaged in, and I feel prepared for round 2 tomorrow. All that and I'm still functioning on my new daily breakfast of a warm can of Pepsi, downed last minute in the car because I realize as I walk out the door that I've only had 5 hours of sleep and no breakfast... it's my only hope of survival.
Then I came home, prepped another awesome lesson (at least I think it's neat-o), made a real dinner (for the first time in a week), and am done in time to fall asleep at a semi-normal hour. Weird! I wonder what it'll be like tomorrow working after getting some sleep.
I kinda like this working thing.

You're a brave person letting phones in class. I was always the mean teacher who would take it until the end of class. Granted I taught the lower level classes and the students usually did horrible because they refused to do ANYTHING so I had to take away their distraction.
I am so glad you are enjoying your new job! Those kids are lucky to have you as a teacher.
Hooray for you on your first day! Glad to hear that it went well and that you are ready to go back! hehe... Good for you!
I can picture you in a classroom!! I'm sure that you are an awesome teacher!! Good luck! Hopefully things settle down after the first week.
