I didn't have apprehension, I wasn't too nervous, and in some small ways I missed most of my students. It was good to see them back, a lot were subdued. Some of it was the new classroom, some was not giving them assigned seats (which created different issues as problem students tend to gravitate together). Lessons went well, since I planned them and timed them out, and we took very small steps in reviewing concepts from pre-break.
It was "dress to impress" day, part of homecoming week. Bad plan, since few kids remember ANYTHING over the two week break. Very few teachers participated either. I dressed as I used to as businessman in NYC - suit and tie. It made an impression, since I usually wear khakis and a collar shirt, even on jeans day.
Managed to squeeze in my daily walk before mother-in-law's birthday dinner, which absolved me of having to think of, then cook, dinner.
