August 13, and still waiting

The contract for school starts August 16 and here it is August 13, 2008, and I am still sitting in Stonington, CT with no idea when I will be leaving. Boxes are sealed and bags are packed.

Today photos arrived of the villas where we will be living. They are furnished and seem spacious. There are swimming pools calling out my name. Can’t wait to start decorating the place and calling it home.

In the meantime, per the principal’s request, I am writing lesson plans to send to the school in case we, the new teachers, are not there when school starts. To be on the safe side, they said to prepare plans for the first two weeks of school. Right now it looks like we will get there in time for the September 10 day break starting September 23.
