As I was working in my classroom after school today, I could hear the steady drip, drip, drip of water from my leaky roof. This leak has plagued me for the year and a half that I have been in this classroom. It also was the reason my next-door-neighbor vacated the room at the earliest opportunity and moved next door. Most of the fall and late spring, it is silent. But during the rainy late-fall, all winter (with all the melting snow), and early spring, it is a constant reminder that the company hired to design our school building (and many other exact copies in the district) must have been absent from architecture school the day they covered roof design.
So, as I was finishing up for the day, I heard my drip, drip, drip turn into drip, drip, drip, drip. Yep, leak #4 has taken up residence in my room. The previous leaks had rendered the corner of my classroom unusable. Now, this new leak has creeped into my group meeting area. I am so irritated by this because I really liked the room arrangement I had going this year. I spent a good 15 minutes trying to figure out how to rearrange my room so that I could keep as much traffic away from those red buckets as possible and have the most usable learning space. I'm just going to take a deep breath and embrace the change.
