The papers are finally signed and I now owe an arm and a leg for my new place. Its in a great location! I can take the 3 minute walk to school every morning just across the street and football field or walk several blocks to Smiths to fill up the fridge. The last few mornings I've even been able to watch football practice from my bedroom window.
This morning was "new teacher" orientation. They briefly taught us how to use the online grading system as well as some of the new features on Microsoft Outlook. Out of the thirty or so new teachers in the district, there was only one single female and she had a few more tattoos than I would prefer! haha I was suprised how many older teachers joined the school district. The District Administration is a fun group and very personable. They made it easy to feel welcome and I now feel exceptionally happy to be employed here!
One of the new teachers I met was Clay Rodgers from Gillette, WY. He is a big fella and an assistant football and wrestling coach. He was fun to talk to, especially when the administration started informing him of the moving allowance we have as new teachers. He had already moved and not saved any of his reciepts, no reimbursments for Clay! Then he found out the technology dept. forgot to register him into the computers. At lunch he was the first to order and the very last to be served, the wrong meal! It was fun joking around with him and drawing attention to our boisterous corner.
This afternoon I went to Home Depot, bought a few gallons of paint, and ordered some new carpet. Big Day!!! Its going to be a busy fall, with new improvements and buying new things for my new place.
