Oh boy....

Mondays are always rough....no one likes rolling out of bed early and getting themselves ready for a week of work. But you KNOW you are going to have a rough week when your Monday starts out like this....

• No less than three students asked me where they put their Friday folders. Three. !!! Despite the fact that there is a large black crate sitting on the same table it's sat on every Monday morning since September clearly labeled with a bright red sign that says Friday folders.
• Two of my students completely forgot which way to go to get to music class. (Yes, I was with them, a few paces behind though and actually had to redirect them.) The music room has been in the same spot since the school opened.
• Another student of mine came in a bit late and then took a couple of tries to get to music. First she went to the wrong place, then she forgot her music folder.
• And, finally, another student asked me (actually this student asks this question almost every day) which computer day it was, even though, again, clearly written on the board the way it has been since the beginning of the school year.

All of this before 9:30.

And people wonder why I'm so tired by the end of the day!
