So yesterday at school I was offered the chance to move apartments to a bigger one that is "a huge step up. " After talking to the people that are about to vacate (they are teachers about to finish their contract) I took the offer. While my apartment isnt that bad, theirs is a huge loft with high ceilings and a bigger bed (because they were living there as a couple). Also, they said they would leave all the furniture and everything that was in the fridge and cabinets. So, while Im really excited about having a nicer and bigger place, it means that I will still not have regular Internet or TV for another week.
Also, my Kids College campus is closing, so I, along with everyone else, will be moving to one of the other campuses after this coming week. After Sept, there will be a brand new and supposedly really modern new building opening up that everyone (both campuses) will be moving into. The good news is that both places are really close to where most of the teachers live so instead of having to ride the bus every morning I will be able to walk 10 min if I want. The bad news is that everything is in the process of being packed up so it has been even harder to to find the things I need to teach.
Its now Sat afternoon and I went to Costco this morning with two teachers and got a bunch of stuff that is hard to find in the neighborhood stores. I picked up some Honey Nut Cheerios , ravioli and sauce, sandwich meat, cheese, and some granola bars. Tonight Im going with a fellow teacher to one of the foreign neighborhoods for a bar opening party that is being thrown by a friend of my recruiter. My recruiter is a Canadian who is the essentially the mediator between my school and me and helped place me in my job. According to the invitation the majority of people there will be teachers so Im looking forward to meeting some more Americans and Canadians. Dont worry, Ill be safe!
Thats about it, hope all is well in the States. Still no pics, sorry, I promise Im working on it.

hey man. im glad you still get the good old american favorites. Nothing like some mac and cheese, PB&J, and freedom fries. Its has to be hard to settle when they keep moving you around to different apartments. Hows the view where you new place is? I can't wait to see the pictures of the area.
Falcons won their first game, adam and I went and had to scalp the other two tickets. One more preseason game then the real shit starts. I think you could bench more than matt ryan; he looks really scrawny on the field; im waiting for a linebacker to remove his head from the shoulder pads.
