Living in North Carolina... updates from the move

Sunday I left NY at 6 am, with Dad, and we drove all the way to NC. The car handled the trip, although somewhere a hub cap was lost... oops!

It would take a lot of time to be really specific, so instead I'll just give an overview of highlights thus far.

Monday- Found a place to live (includes a great music colleague and a puppy)
Tuesday- First day of Orientation- slow morning and speedy afternoon
Wednesday- Got into my classroom after a tour of the school- excited about all of the resources
Thursday- Final day of orientation- got my teacher id- finally got an overview of all the paperwork that needs to be done to be set in the district.... and went to the farmers market and got fresh peaches!
... I also stopped by a shop nearby that has a lot of crafts for sale, coffee, and is a supermarket- also has lounging area and games in there, like a coffee shop I liked to visit in Potsdam. I think I may have found a working nook :)

...also I'm not noticing the accents so much here, but noticing it when talking to people in NY... I might come back in December with a drawl... time will tell.
