Peaceful corridors
lend purpose to the day's work;
school starts tommorrow.

This really made me smile. My youngest daughter is a primary school teacher and I am sure she would know exactly how you feel!

Loved it!!!

So true! (My mother and aunt were both teachers, so I've heard this feeling described many times!). And beautifully succinct.

But: "tomorrow"!!

Thanks for your response, Holly! 'Tomorrow' is now a distant memory.
