Today
Mood:  a-ok
Now Playing: party931.com dance radio
I got some stuff done today. I went to the school and moved all of my stuff to the room I will be in temporarily. That is the stage in the cafeteria. I will be in there for most of the day. I have one class that is scheduled during lunch and for that period I will be in the Library. I have asked if it is possible to switch my planning period so that I will be able to keep all of my stuff in the one room and not have to move things from one room to another and then back. One problem with being on the stage is that I will be carrying my pencil sharpener around with me. I will not be leaving it where students might be able to get to it and take it. I also helped Rhonda move the things from her old room to her temporary room. She at least will be in just one room. Other than that today was an okay day. I watch the launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery today. That looks like it was a success, although there may be a couple problems. I will be watching over the next couple days to see that it does come home safely. I am a firm believer that we, as a race, must go to the stars. We must colonize other planets. Well, that is all for tonight. Have a good night.

Today
Mood:  a-ok
Today was ok. Slept in a bit and enjoyed it. Worked at Sylvan today. Other then that, not much happened. The only other thing I that happened today was a friend called and talk to me and let me know that her uncle died today. She was very close to him and this hit her pretty hard. She is not going to be able to the funeral and that is really tearing her up. I know that she will get through this as she is a very strong person that I believe can make it though anything.

Sometime this week:

Sometime this week I need to stop by the school to pick up the key for my room. I will probably go in Tuesday morning and use some time that day to move things to the room. I also plan on going to the Salvation Army to look for some shirts and pants for the school year. If I can't find anything then I will go to the big and tall store to get them. I hope to find a couple new shirts and a couple new pairs of pants. Would be nice to look good when the school year starts.

Today
Mood:  a-ok
Hi once again. Today I walked over to the mall. It is only a 30 minute walk, but it was quite warm and humid. After hanging out in the bookstore for a while I walked back. The walk back was easier as there was more cloud cover and winds to make it seem a little cooler. I stopped by the office to see about moving to a 1 bedroom apartment. There would be a $100 transfer fee. There is also no apartment available. I don't think that I will be looking at moving, at least not for a while. I don't have people over so there really is not a reason for me to move to anything bigger. Other then that not much to report today. After I got home I took a nap, then got up and fixxed dinner. Nothing else to talk about. Will write more tomorrow.

Moving stuff
Mood:  cool
Now Playing: www.933flz.com radio broadcast
Missed yesterday, again. I need to try and make sure I write something everyday. Yesterday I moved things around inside my apartment and got all the boxes moved from storage in to my apartment. I am thinking of rearranging some things in here to make it look a little better. I will be stopping by the apartment complex office tomorrow to see about a 1 bedroom apartment, on the FIRST floor. I really do not have any plans of moving right now, but I would like to check out some options. Who knows, maybe I will move, again.

Today I received one of my teaching certificates. I am now certified to teach Middle School regular education classes, as well as my ESE classes. Now I need to work on getting my other 2 certifications taken care of. I still need to take the test for Elementary Education, and still need to send in the application, fee, and take the test for the Math certification.

Other then that not much else is going on. I think I am going to walk to the mall tomorrow. About a 30 minute walk each way. It will be hot though. Been very warm and humid here (then again, it has been warm everywhere) so I will be packing a lot of water. It will be while I am out that I will be stopping by the office to see about the larger apartment. I am going to be getting off to watch the Braves-Diamondbacks baseball game. My 2 favorite teams. I think at this time I am cheering for the Diamondbacks since they need the win more.. I am off now. take care.

A little bit more
I strapped the couch down on top of my car and took it to The Salvation Army today. I now have an open spot to move my dresser to. Will move the dresser and my bed around tomorrow. I will move the items out of storage in to my apartment this weekend. The only things I will leave in storage are the things for school and I will move them out and in to my classroom next week. I will have to spend a little time to move things around in the apartment a little as well. Other then that things are going ok. I had training today at Sylvan and bowling tonight. Not much else to talk about about. I am off to bed instead. Good night

thoughts on today
Mood:  cool
Now Playing: party931.com dance radio
Today was...wednesday? Didn't do much today. Read a little, rested in bed a bit, played on the computer a bit, worked a bit, listened to music a bit, talked to my mom a bit, and sent off an e-mail. Other then that not much happened. I think I will try to get the couch to The Salvation Army tomorrow. I will have to take it down the stairs myself (no problem) and put it on top of my car (might be a problem) and strap it down. I will stay off the main road and drive slowly. I should be able to get it there with no problems. It is about 10 miles to where it needs to go, which might be the only problem. Well, I am going to play another game and then will be heading to bed. Good night.

Scotty beamed up
Mood:  a-ok
Now Playing: party931.com dance radio
This just some thoughts about James Doohan who played Scotty on the original Star Trek Series. When I watched Star Trek I must say that Scotty was one of my favorite characters from all of the series. I just loved how he was completely sure of himself at all times. There was never a spot where he was not 100% confident. From the origianl series he was one of only two stars who I wanted to meet and get a signature from (the other was Walter Koenig, mostly due to his role on Babylon 5). Sadly, that never happened. I am saddened by his passing and send my thoughts and prayers to his family. He will be missed.

Today

I went out and did some cleaning in my storage unit. I went through boxes and bags and got rid of papers and items that I do not need. In the end I have 6 plastic boxes that are empty and removed 6 garbage bags of junk and some empty cardboard boxes. The bags were not full, but they were heavy. I also got my school stuff together and would have no problems moving the stuff that I have left in to my apartment. I just need to get my couch moved out. Hopefully I can get that done this week or weekend. That is it for tonight. Bye for now.

More catching up
Mood:  a-ok
So, I have once again missed 2 days of posting. That is ok. Not a whole lot happened those days and I can quickly bring you up to speed on what is happening.

On Sunday I did nothing but site around my apartment, read, eat, etc. I had yet to finish a book I had started before Harry Potter came out so I wanted to work on it a little more.

On Monday I had to wake up early so I could go to work. After I got off work I stopped by the school to see what the latest was about the new portables. They are still not in and are not expected in until just before school starts. This means that I (and the other teacher who should be in those portables) will most likely be starting the year off in a different classroom and then will have to move all of our stuff to the portables once they are ready for us to use. Not much fun. After that I came home and got ready to go back to work. After work that night I finished reading my other book.

Today is going to be not that great of a day. I think I am going to go down to the storage shed and go through some stuff to see what I can get rid of. Yes, there are some things in there that I do not need and I will be taking some trash bags with me and going through some stuff. I will be keeping most of the things in there, but I know that there are some things I do not need now or again. Other then that I only have to work tonight. Not much going on, really. I am off for a bit, but I hope to write something tonight after work. Take care until then.
