It seems as I go to work from day to day I still have the mindset that I'm simply on a semester long trip with my school and I'll be going home soon. But that is simply not true. I could be here a long time. So I figure if I'm to start thinking of this place as home, I have to make it feel like home. I never thought I'd be considering what is the best type of furniture to buy to make a place feel like home, that's always been done for me (thanks Mom). Even in college I didn't really care what my room or townhouse looked like just as long as I could live there for a few months. It's a task that will take some work, but I'll get it eventually.
As far as teaching goes, things are getting somewhat better. I am trying to find the delicate balance between the good/strict teacher and the teacher that lets things slide because ultimately at a private school keeping the kids and parents happy is the #1 priority. It's kind of frustrating at times but like everything else here it will simply take some getting used too.

As a possible future roommate I would appreciate it if all furniture is approved by me first. ;)
