Oneida on my mind...

330 mile road trip - check. Settled in at the Settle Inn - check. Room prepped and samples made - check. Curriculum reviewed - check...er, check after this post...

Well, ladies and gents, tomorrow is day one and I have to admit I'm feeling more nervous than anything else. I did get a chance to meet a few of the students I will be working with and they seem like great kids (if I can even call them kids, they are only a handful of years younger than I am). The space is great, I spent the day organizing supplies, making up my room, and testing samples of some image transfers. And while I do feel better now that I've gotten acquainted with my home for the next two weeks, Nervous Nancy is still at the wheel:

• Will I be engaging enough?
  
• Will my students find this project as interesting, exciting, and fun as I hope they do?
  
• Have I planned enough?
  
• Have I planned too much?
• Will the whole thing flop?

For anyone who knows me (even a little bit), you know this is my modus operandi, I've got to worry it out to really get started. I'm hoping another once over of my plans will soothe my worrying soul...but if not, a glass of red wine could also do the trick. Here's to tomorrow!
