 Happy Thursday! Today is an exciting day. We, Jennifer and I, well I guess a school, we have a couple of big events today so I thought I might try to vlog. I'm on my way to Starbucks right now at 7.15 and I already placed my mobile order so all I have to do is get out of the car, run up and grab it, and then head to work. We have to be there at 8 o'clock and then we are going to convocation which is like a giant pep rally for the district. All the teachers and all these staff goes to the convocation at the local resort and we hear the superintendent's vision and all that stuff. So I thought I would try to vlog. We'll see if I can muster up the courage to vlog in front of all the other teachers. It'll be interesting and we take a bus right there and everything so Jennifer and I are obviously gonna sit together on the bus and we'll see how that goes. And tonight when we get back from convocation we have meetings from 1 to 4 and then we have Meet the Teacher Night from 5 to 6.30 so I'm crossing my fingers hoping that I will have time to go home between convocation and meetings. I'm hoping they'll give us a lunch break so that I can go home and like kind of get my clothes together for the night because I plan to stay at work between meetings and Meet the Teacher Night. That way I can put up a final bulletin board and just get really prepared for that because I I mean I'm ready like everything's printed out that I need but it would be nice to like have you know the room just looking perfect and I mean it's not messy or anything but just last-minute fixings and stuff. So yeah that's the plan. Sorry I'm vlogging down here I'm like in traffic and I don't want anybody to see my camera. Okay so I just got out of Starbucks and what I've been getting lately is just a grande iced coffee with two pumps of regular syrup and then two pumps of toffee nut syrup with a splash of coconut milk. It's so good and I get a grande coffee because it only has 160 milligrams of caffeine in it and as a pregnant woman I can have up to 200 milligrams a day so I figure if I drink it all in the morning then I can burn it off throughout the day and it's just fine and my doctor approved it and it's not a big deal at all and then I also get a trend to water that way I can reserve the water that I bring in my water bottle for like later on in the day this covers me for the morning and then I can drink that in the afternoon because when I go to work I'm drinking water and then there I have a big jug under my desk so that I can just fill it up and then I also get a spicy chorizo sandwich which is so delicious Jennifer and I did notice though we were looking through some of our comments on our YouTube videos and we noticed a couple of cranky people and I just wanted to let you guys know that the reason I have my comments upon approval is just because of all the negative people that are out there there haven't been a whole lot but there are some negative people and I just want to let those negative people know that you really don't affect me when you comment on my videos with negativity I just delete the comment so if you don't like my videos if you don't like me then don't watch them and you know you don't have to comment if you don't like video or just keep it to yourself because the only thing I'm gonna do is delete it so Jennifer and I just kind of were like well should we stop vlogging like should we you know take some time off and I said you know what no because people are gonna be mean they're gonna disagree with what you say and what you do and it doesn't matter you know if you stop then you're just feeding into them and so just keep in mind that this channel is a place of positivity and I do not I'm not gonna entertain your negativity so just a little side note there but I'm gonna go ahead and keep driving you to school oh I am wearing lip sense today I think if you follow me on Instagram you know that I started using lip sense and I'm wearing the color first love and the reason I love lip sense is because it lasts all day and as a teacher I'm talking all day long and you know drinking my coffee drinking my water eating whatever and the lip sense stays on so I plan to do more of like a chat about that in my upcoming back-to-school hacks video that will be posted on August 10th so if this video is up before that one then look forward to that one on August 10th I'm also gonna share a couple of makeup secrets with you guys for teaching and just you know a couple of other hacks for getting ready to go back to school because I know I'm getting ready I start school on Monday in today's Thursday so a lot of you guys are getting ready to start on the east coast and like in other places in the middle of August or in September so hopefully that will be helpful video and I think Jennifer's doing one as well so yeah so I'm gonna go ahead and get to school and then we'll see what I can muster up in today's vlog I don't know it's kind of still that awkward like I don't want to vlog in front of the other teachers even though a lot of them know know that I do YouTube I don't know it's just weird to me so we'll see oh this is creature and being trash in your bag Hi, Manny. Hi. Hi, Charlie. That was last night. Say hi, Rachel. Guys, this is Katie. Right here. Hi, Bronte. Ouch. We're back here. Katie, this is coming. That's okay. I'll just hide it behind Manny's head.

I just have one of these slides from Teach Create Motivate. And it says welcome students and parents. And then it just tells them all the things they need to do. With all the things they need to pick up, sign up, and then these are like extra pickups. And then all their supplies is going to go back here. And they can label their supplies if they bring bags of it. And they can put it under the table. And then I have Disney music playing. What else? Aiden, what else is going on in here? Hmph. You want an air rake? I'm filming. So, this is where we're going to sit. And then that too. And then that's another seating. That too. And then the supplies area. The supplies goes down here. And then the rest goes over here. And then the computers. And then that's another seating. Seating. Miss Valdez is a disc. Say it. Oh, look at the emoji. He's such a cute emoji. What are you doing over there? I don't know. Also, Aiden, if someone comes in I'll just drive into the front and I'll let them know that this is like an example of the supplies they need to get. Okay. The supply list is on the back of the welcome sheet. The supply list. Okay. Kill. Oh, I should tell them I got my new glasses. Yes, he did. I have my own case, my own cleaner. Do you smell old?

So, we're going to blow these balloons up and then we're going to go and get our night started. Yes, blue and purple. Okay, bye. Hi, guys. So, Meet the Teacher Night was a great success. I had so many kids and parents come and I'm really, really excited for this school year. I think it's going to be amazing and I'm really excited to meet the kids that I didn't get to meet. I think I probably had over half of my class show up and the fun part was that I knew most of them because they were in Mrs. Reese's class last year. So, I already knew them. I already knew their names and I was able to be a kid that came in and just made sure that I showed them that I really care and that I'm really excited. So, I'm going to end this vlog here and I do have a back to school video as I mentioned earlier this morning. So, I hope you guys look forward to that. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel and click the little bell that's next to the subscription button because that will alert you guys when I put up a new video so that you can see all the fun that I have to share this school year. So, ooh! Excuse me, I just burped. So, I'm on my way home and I'm going to go to sleep. So, I will see you guys in the next video. Bye!
