Settling in to Life

I have found that I enjoy a new scenery to run in. It has been making my mornings more exciting to be exploring a place full of gardens!! Unfortunately, the dogs scare me a bit...they bark LOUD and really seem to want to attack me.

This was day two of orientation. I have gone through all the shelves in my room...it was hot without airconditioning, but I feel like I am in control now (sort of!). I have been organizing and making posters and planning out the first few lessons. I will teach 2 7th grade classes, 2 8th grade classes, and 2 high school classes (Art 1 and Art 2, one of each). My schedule is varily light. I have no classes on Wednesday. I think I will be put to work around the school during that time; there are ALWAYS needs.

Tonight, Kristin and I went to Tesco which is a large Walmart type store. Kristin attempted driving the stick-shift van. She rocked it out!! I'm so blessed to be living with her. Shopping is interesting...we just look at the items, grab one, look at each other, say "Is this good?", shrug, and then decide to try it and move on. Everything here is new, even mustard.
