I've been through three different living places. House was a dumb, second place was sweet, I took it, but it was large and pricey. The lady then told me about this other place. Single bedroom for two hundred bucks less. I'll save some money and be in a place more my size. I lose my den, but whatever. I put together a website for my classes. I'm excited to try it out, but I'm not sure how well it will work, it just doesn't do all the things I would have liked it to do. But it'll be good for a first try, and it might impress my new boss. These people are so nice.

I'm thinking right now about day one. What do I need to do to get these kids on my side. I have a few ideas and am mulling some stuff over. Ideas about talking about pride and respect. But these are more like last day talks, not first day. I just need to find the right thing and start talking about it. I got my "curriculum" stuff, CLTs. Critical Learning Targets that my 7th and 8th graders must know how to do before they can move onto the next level. The other grades look like they are totally up to me.

I got some materials from the school the other day. Something like 15-20 books. I've already read a few of them and am about to finish another, I just get hot and cold with these things. I cant just sit there and read for three days solid, I need to do other things. I went out and rented Ghostbusters the Videogame yesterday. It was a blast. I finished it today, it was so cooooool. I'm a long time Ghostbusters fan. Movies, the old cartoon show, I have some of the old toys. I just love the stories, the characters, and the idea. It's always kind of fascinated me. And I love Slimer. I'm also a big X-Men, TMNT, and Thundercats fan. Those are just a few of my nerdy leanings.

Well, I'm out of stuff to say. Gotta go watch the Rockies end this game against the Dodgers. Up 3-0 one out left in the top of the ninth. All they need is three outs.

I move the 15th of July.

Later.

Visualize, actualize.

Out number three, lets go Street.

:-)

Bye.
