Pepto Bismal…

 If there was ever a question regarding which product worked most effectively when dealing with constipation and regularity, forget the yogurts and pills and syrupy liquids offered at your local convenience store.  Instead, skip everything and throw yourself into the position of a first year teacher two days before school starts.  All doubts completely crumble and you find your self “googling” the first day of school checklist.  Then all of a sudden and without any kindly warning, you leap out of your seat and onto the chamber pot. This sickness brought on by apprehension and the sheer uncertainty of your next nine months attacks you in tsunami like torrents until finally it subsides long enough for you to tweak a muscle while preparing your pretty much perfect classroom.

This is me; 18 hours 29 minutes and 56 seconds before taking on my first major assignment. 

Anticipation Level
Nerves: 30%
Nightmares: 7%
Tweaked Muscles: 3%
Excitement: 60%

Ability to sleep: near too impossible
        
Tip: read something calming (not school related) before going to sleep, otherwise it may take you hours to stop thinking about pocket charts, behavior plans and the inevitable parent teacher conferences.
