today is my first day of school and i'm so nervous i feel like i could throw up

the school day doesn't even start until 10:35 today, and my class isn't until 1:10....

i decided i'm going to have the kids call me Miss Stephanie because in general no one can pronounce my last name, let alone classrooms full of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese students.

my plan for the first day? go in for office hours at 10:35 and print out the two forms i prepared and get copies made. then lunch (if i can actually eat) and go to class. i prepared a list of rules/class expectations, which I'm hoping will take the entire class period to go over. they're non-native english speakers so maybe they won't even understand whati 'm talking about? who knows. if i notice there's a lot of time left then i'll have them fill out the 'getting to know you' survey thing that i prepared, and after they fill it out have them answer some of the questions out loud. if there isn't enough time for that, then i'll make them do the handouts as homework. that should be sufficient for 50 minutes, right? i am so incredibly nervous.
