I had an ever-growing list of to-do in my mind. So I relaxed and hung with Kristen and the kids and then set out to get something done! I got my car smogged and got new California plates! I think I waited a year before I got Missouri plates (oops!)
Dudley (the car) looks pretty studly with CA plates
On Friday I drove to the city I will be teaching in. San Marcos is northern San Diego county. Some of you Missouri friends have been asking me where exactly San Diego is. San Diego is the southern most part of the state right above Mexico. My parents are at the other end of the state-lots of hours away. :)
The school is great. It is fairly new (6 years old) and such a welcoming community. My principal met me with a hug and gave me a tour. School is still in session here (!!!) so I was able to meet most of the teachers I will be teaching with and some from other grades. I got to see my classroom. I love it; it is one of the few with windows. Here are some photos!!
On my way back to Temecula to where I am staying I wanted to drive around and check out possible places to live. I stopped at a fancy apartment complex and put an applicant in-check the blog about my apartment!!
Saturday I spent the day with Kristen and her family. Sunday we went to church and then hung out with new friends!! One of my friends connected me to a friend of hers and that friend invited me to a free concert on the beach (Coronado island). It was an awesome first beach trip. :))
