Moving On Up

So things are coming along smoothly in the new (old) house (convent). Today one of my roommates is ripping out the carpet in one of the staircases, it's taken him half an hour but he has finished two stairs.

Beyond that things are good. It's pretty good here, boring but good. Yesterday I played 9 holes of golf (shot a 68). It was frustrating but I didn't mind because I wasn't paying for it (thank you gift certificates).

After that we got back to the convent and watched Resident Evil. I didn't really appreciate it, it was too weird. It lost me at the skinless dogs. Then in order to watch a less scary movie because some of the girls have a real problem with zombies, we watched Star Trek.

After 4 hours of movie watching I had to do something. So a few of us walked into "town" to see what there was. It is 11pm at this point so not much was open. I just needed to get up and out of the house for a little to regain some sanity.

But that's all for here as of now. Teacher's meetings start monday. I'm actually pretty excited for them, just because I really know nothing about the school so I have a lot of questions.

If a real fire alarm went off, I would have no clue

So completely unpacked and moved into my new house (and old convent). My bedroom and office are unpacked and are awesome, so there. The house is a mess so a few of us living here have spent the past few days cleaning like crazy. It seems like in the ten years this house has been used as a PACT house, it has never been fully cleaned. So that's fun. I been opening cabinets and closets and finding the most random crap. In one of the drawers I was cleaning out I found torn up construction papers, pine cones, walnuts, leaves, sharpies, and a clock. Random.

Anywho, started wearing another heart monitor. I have the amazing opportunity to wear this one for 30 days. I'm so excited. When the things goes off, it first sounds like a truck backing up, then a fire alarm, and then a tea kettle whistling. This is gonna be awkward when it goes off when I start teaching.

Speaking of teaching, I'm starting a new blog (I will keep this one but I don't think I'll update as much). But it's gonna be all about my first two years teaching and the crazy and weird stories that happen. Check it out.
