School starts Monday. I was officially hired today, which ate up most of the day in HR paperwork. My classroom is bare as can be. I have maybe 4 hours tomorrow that I can access the room (the rest of the day is meetings) to work on it. Friday is corporation meetings all day, off-site. We might get limited access over the weekend, but not sure...
