Today is the first day in about two weeks that I haven't felt like dogshit from the get-go. Hey, I was as surprised as anyone else. I think it helped that I've been sleeping between 10-12 hours a night, at the expense of my homework. Whatever works, right?

Today I had my pre-observational meeting with the principal and she seemed favourably impressed with my package. I was - pleased is not the word, cautiously optimistic is a better fit. Of course, my positive reception may come from the fact that I responded speedily to the many criticisms levelled at me - and the fact that I wasn't part of the angry mob hovering out of her door (no really, I'm not joking. It was all femme teachers that I know fairly well, and still I was intimidated down to my socks.) Or none of the above.

At least it'll all be over by this time tomorrow.
