History











Evening,
I have been here several times over the past day or 2 but just couldn't find the energy to leave a message. Back to school after Spring Break has been tough, a new home, everything in different places then where it was in my little apartment. Can't seem to get back into routine. And it has been hot, wait not just hot but HOT. Its a few days into April and the temperature at my school was in the 90's today! What happened to spring and gradually getting into the heat of the summer months. Even the library at school where my office is had been extremely warm. Teaching in a enclosed environment is tough and not just that but the building itself has its temperature regulated centrally with the rest of the schools in the district. So I am certain there is a school where it has been extremely cold. For me it is easier to put clothes on when chilled then removing clothing when its too hot. Which isn't possible at school.

Its Tuesday and I just remembered I will be beginning my professional development class tomorrow. The county I teach in is rich in history. And tomorrow I begin a class on black history beginning with slavery. I love local history. Virginia is so rich in history from the beginning in the 1400's to the present. Right now I am watching and listening to the History channel, the program is about how each state got its shape. I always wondered why all the states don't look alike, 'squares'. It's cool to know just how each state got its unique look. But from 30,000 feet you don't see the boundaries just beautiful country.

My life has been stange lately. I won't go into the fact that I thought I was locked out yesterday! Out of my new home! Or that when I came out of the store and couldn't find my car especially with it right in front of me. Go ahead smile, I am certain its happened to you. I got scared!

Anyway, I am going to put lunch together and pack a snack for class tomorrow afternoon. Enjoy the rest of your night and your tomorrow. I do hope it is cooler then today.
