Trying to think...

You know when you have one of those days where you've done, seen, and heard so much it barely processes?? Well When I think about today and where I started and ended my day I can't believe it. I was a little sad to be leaving my last town. I made some good friends there. I learned so much from the town, students, etc. It was a little bittersweet. Knowing I have a job for next year helped overcome that. I would really really love to not have a U-haul in my future for a couple of years at least. I want to be settled in for a bit.

I was able to visit my new job site and see my future classroom. It was bigger than I expected the school has a gym, locker rooms, weight room, computer labs, home economics room, library, a mini-cafeteria, and office. I was surprised by the size. I met 2 of my future colleagues, the school janitor, a school board member, the volley ball coach, and many others. I was able to start to see some of the challenges associated with this new job. If I can maintain the students as my priority I will do great. I realized I desperately need a classroom library. I will be doing some shopping while back home and some garage sales as well.

Loading and unloading a U-haul uggh. It is not fun. Despite getting rid of sooo much I still have sooo much. I told mom I can't get anything new unless I get rid of 10 other things :). It is downsized from my last move so there was progress but it isn't easy. Now I just have to hope they find me a wonderful mice free, smoke free, safe, and warm place to rest my head.
