The Baptists and the Rain

It's been a crazy week so far... Monday started the beginning of the end of my days at Millbrook. I packed up my life as a teacher thus far and moved it over to my new school in Wake Forest. The staff was very warm, inviting, and helpful at my arrival which made a good first impression. I unpacked the car into my new room and the size of it scares me a little so I'm going to have to be creative with my decorating.

Tuesday I arrived at school to find that I had quickly been kicked out of my space. My replacement dove right in after my leaving, pushing the rest of my stuff out in the hall and then started rearranging the room. It was hard at first because it is not my space anymore and its like life went on without even a blink. I know my replacement is just anxious to get started as I know I would but it's like I couldn't even get out all the way before she took my spot. My team has been very supportive of my move and were very generous to give me a gift certificate to the teacher store to help restock my new classroom. In my hurry to get to my lunch date, I ran out without really saying goodbye to anyone outside of my collegues in any of the other grades. Whoops!

I ran to my lunch date with Kat which was a great time and I enjoyed catching up with her. I then flew to Greensboro to try and make it to SEBTS presentation at the Southern Baptist Convention. I made it with 30 mins. to spare only to release I no money to pay for my parking pass and I wasn't dressed appropriately. I drove around G-boro and finally resorted to changing clothes in a dark corner of a parking deck (yeah, great idea I know!). I made it just as Jeremy went on stage and spent the rest of the evening with him.

Today I swore I need Noah's ark to make it around. Lovely TS Alberto made its presence known in NC and we were drenched. I was soaked on more than one occassion trying to walk through a parking lot. Our neighborhood has a river following through it (literally the creek has turned into a river and some cars are underwater.) Poor Crabtree mall is flooded as well. :( The one fun thing of the day is that I got to hear Condolezza Rice speak at the convention. She spoke a very optimistic speech that led to over 5 standing ovations.

Hurricanes are scheduled to play in 2 hours. (GO CANES!) Hopefully they'll take home the Cup tonight! Question for you: What do fans do when the Canes win? Tarheels know to go to Franklin St. but what do we do when the Canes win?
