AZ Update

Things here are going well. The first day of school was on Friday, and it went pretty good. I had 10 kids on my roster, but ended up with 14--still a low number. The one troublemaker of the group ended up sleeping most of the day. Monday will begin the real teaching and such. I like the administration at my new school. I've probably talked with the principal more already than my previous principal all of last year.

I have felt kind of stranded lately, because my lack of internet at home and my computer problems at school. It still isn't able to let me even log onto the computer! We'll see how long it takes to remedy that. I'm pretty bored at home bc of no TV, so I've been reading a lot, watching movies I have, and stuff like that. I have to save on gas, because I don't get paid until the 21st. I'm living cheap until then.

I just put my computer by the sliding glass door and wah-lah, INTERNET. So I get to type this now, and check up on things. Splendid. I live within a mile or two of 2 large shopping centers, that have pretty much every store you can think of, so that's good. A train passes by a couple times a day right outside my balcony. I don't mind because I wake up so early, but it must be hell for people who wake up after 6 am.

I haven't really gone out yet, due to my fiscal limitations, but plan to by September. There seems like there's plenty to do here. I live very close to Arizona State University. I'd like to explore more and travel to Vegas or LA in the next few months. Maybe go see a couple friends in Utah (if its not too far). We'll see. Right now, I'm just buying time until I'm able to buy products:)
