This week

This week has been eventful and yet noneventful at the same time. I enjoy weeks like this. I have spent a lot of time in my classroom trying to clean out from the mess I made when moving. I have been going through box after box. when I first started moving I really made an effort to organize the equipment into specific boxes...unfortunately by the time I was almost finished I was so tired that I began to just throw things into boxes. If it fit that was all I asked. I am now paying the price but doing well.
I also discovered that my sink doesn't quite work the way I had hoped it would. I used it the other day for a while and thought nothing about it...then I went into the storage closet and discovered that the water was draining into the closet. I am not sure how that works...or how they set up the plumbing but for me it really doesn't work. I have to figure this out because I know that I will be needing the sink a lot. I decided to inform the administration and see what they did. they are used to me being pretty self sufficient and doing things myself. This does save them a lot of money so they seldom say much.
I also broke a display case while moving a cabinent into my room. I fixed it...it wasn't the best but I think it looks good and no one has said much to me since. so I guess it is exceptable. Yea me. One thing I have learned is that if I really want to I can learn how to do most anything. It does often require patience because sometimes I just do not want to spend the time making the mistakes it takes to learn.
The rest of the week went well. Friday we went down the river with sunny and Trevor. It was a lot of fun and only took an hour. I am doing better at cleaning my house and keeping things in line. I am a little tired of JOhn's broken foot. I feel bad because he is missing out on so much. I hope he heals soon.
I need to get better at taking my camera places...it seems I forget too easily.

New school

Yesterday I went to visit the new building. I love my new classroom. It is spacious and different...not regular four walls for me. I have never wanted the "same". I am excited to begin the process of creating a classroom for myself and my students.
Unfortunately, as John and I were moving in my new desk he purchased for me from the state we dropped it right on his foot. He broke it in two places. I felt terrible.

What an incredible labor of love, but what memory attached to the desk.
