Moving in

      It's been one week since I moved across the state to start my first year of teaching. So far so good my newly acquired roommate and I are getting along great. This is such a blessing because moving in with a person you've met in person once and had oh I'd say about two phone conversations with is a little risky. Turns out we are extremely similar in our habits and personalities. She has been a God send and found us an amazing place to live. We are in a duplex that is only a few years old. The kitchen is huge and we each have our own bedroom and bathroom.  She brought along her two cats a male calico and a female black and white. So far the calico and I are good friends. Spooky the girl was a little spooked by the move and has been a little shy. Almost everyone we have met in this little town has been extremely kind and welcoming.
     I am anxious to start teaching on Monday. I have been working in the classroom this week getting the first week of lesson plans done and then completely revised. I figured out how I want my classroom arranged as well as getting bulletin boards changed. The teacher before me was rather fond of animal print backgrounds. It was a little loud and distracting to me. Note to self: I am not a bulletin board artist. Perhaps they should teach that to secondary teachers as well as elementary teachers. At any rate I am excited to meet the students and get into the routine of teaching. More adventure news next week.
