Morning: Feeling good about the program. Turns out I know two people here as Pankey and Joblin both are attending. Once initial anxieties were answered as they relate to logistics, I settled in to hear what we are actually doing. Looks like it's going to be useful and entertaining. Did a tour of campus. Got dismissed then did my own. Visited some of the old haunts.
Spent most of lunch hour in the library reading about the Crusades in Mackay's "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds." Wanted to read Hitch but couldn't find him. Oh well. How often do I get to sit in a quiet room and read? Not very. I will like this aspect of the conference.
Afternoon: Got a primer on Magnolia. Need to do more research-based stuff this year. Fire alarms were blaring at the building when we got back. Once we got back in we went over the standards. This followed a rap session about our thoughts on CCSS.
I feel like after this, I will be well-equipped to make a real impact. Hopefully, I can find my niche and really turn things out in the district. Tired of just existing at my job.
