(Tuesday) Well, they survived - that is about the best I can say. To say it was overwhelming is the understatement of the year. To walk down the halls with over 600 kids and know just a handful of people - no familar faces in sight - it was just a bit much. They made it - it wasn't pretty - but they made it. On a positive note, they did like most of their classes - had some teachers they think they will love - others they weren't so crazy about. But they were ready to go back this morning with smiles on their faces. I think they realized if they could conquer the first day - just maybe they will make it.
(Thursday) Well, its day four now (according to Anna - only 173 more days left this year, but who's counting), I think they are finally getting settled and getting the hang of things a little better. Alys ran a couple of errands for a teacher yesterday without getting lost - she was so excited! Anna has finally got her schedule fixed like she wants it - she moved from Trig-PreCal to TCM (transition to college math) - the trig was just too much for her - she moved from PreAp English to AP English - she is pleased with that - Rise Rothe is the teacher for that and she is looking forward to having her.
We played Valley View Tuesday night - it wasn't very pretty. The junior high (Alys) won the first game much to everyone's suprise - Valley View's junior high is very strong - the second and third games didn't go our way but Alys played her tail off - I was really proud of her. In senior high (Ann) we were up 23-19 in game one but just couldn't finish it and lost it 26-28. The next two games weren't even close with Valley View winning easily. Ann played very good - she had some amazing saves. As always she made me proud. We play Marion tonight - another tough match - they have a couple of girls that are HUGE. Hopefully we can play good and take care of them.
