SO the first week in Pampa was, well, the first week. Several of the women I work with kill things w/ bows or ride motorcycles. I took my clothes to the cleaners on Friday thinking they would probably be done late Monday--nope, late Wednesday--5 days for 3 pairs of capri pants and 3 shirts. Sonic takes at least 5 minutes before they come on the speaker to take your order if there are more than 3 or 4 cars there. My classroom is OLD and filthy and doesn't have a/c yet, so I worked in the heat all week. We are still homeless.

Bright side: I am excited about teaching science & social studies. The district has some really cool software. The weather is cooler and drier there. I'm going to be so busy w/ teaching new subjects AND general ed that this year should breeze by and then I can move if I need to.

Please come visit me--it doesn't look like I'm going to have many friends there. Especially after I tell them that the only hunting I do is in shopping malls and online--ha ha.

***Congrats to cousins Derek & Lisa--and welcome to the family little Hunter!
