THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
Well, as most of my counterparts are already back at school, I am savoring my last few days of summer vacation by...going in to school to get my room ready. Whoopee. I must say that I do enjoy the start of the school year. All new paper, notebooks, pencils, and doing things like handing out books, giving a new look to the old room, etc. However, the one thing that I absolutely HATE about getting my room ready for the new year is BULLETIN BOARDS. I freakin' hate putting up my bulletin boards. It is impossible to put up those LONG sheets of paper in a nice smooth line all by yourself. And I am so damn anal retentive that if there is even the slightest wrinkle in the paper, I notice, and I must fix it. Bulletin board papering can take me up to 2 hours. It's insane. And that's just getting the initial paper up. Then there is the scallopy trim that has to go around, and also, let's not forget the actual content of the board. For that, I have to laminate colored paper to contrast the board, and then go punch out the letters from the laminated paper on the letter press. Then, I must aesthetically arrange the content so that it is pleasing to the eye. I hate that I am so anal about stuff. But, I hate bulletin boards more. |
