Too much

As of this moment, my "Big School-related Checklist" is at 29 things to do before school. I have three things crossed off. The list is ever expanding. I had no idea my job was going to be this complicated. I work every day on the things on the list, and yet I never seem to get more than one thing done. I have a very complicated and involved job that never ends. This is terrifying. It doesn't help yet that so many things on the list actually cannot be completed yet even if I wanted to. I need to get a tax-exemption form to take shopping with me so I can buy stuff for my classroom. I don't want to waste my teacher's choice money on taxes, that's lame. When am I going to be able to get this stuff done? I am very quickly running out of time. Let's see, counting today there are exactly three weeks left to finish everything. Oh god.

Another thing. I don't wear high heels. I'm not good at it and I don't really want to anyway. They are painful and dangerous. Why do all pants in the world have to be creepy-long? I am 5'7, which is not spectacularly tall, but it's not short by any means. Therefore, pants should not be so long on me as to pool at my ankles. I feel like a little kid playing dress-up when I go pants shopping, and that annoys me. If I want to wear flats, I should be able to wear flats without getting my pants altered. That is a fair statement.

I did go shopping on my vacation at the Banana Republic outlet store. I got a ton of awesome stuff, which is going to make me look uber-professional for the first week, after which I will have run out of clothes and will look a little crappy. I have to get some more stuff so I can pull off professional experienced teacher for at least a month. I need a pair of khaki pants and some sort of skirt, as well as a few more tops to rotate. Right now I have four-ish nice tops, but I think I could use at least 9 or 10 so I can move them around a bit. I have a nice advantage in that I only see each of my classes twice a week. That gives me a lot more leeway for wearing the same thing twice in one week. I just have to make sure that I remember what each class has already seen that week.

See how many things there are to think about? Too many!
