August Update

Hello there blog world. I write this update from the night before my first real day on the job, tomorrow. It will be new teacher orientation this week at my new job. I'm looking forward to meeting other new teachers, along with getting more acquainted with the area I will be teaching in, since its quite further from my current stomping grounds.

I'm still working on options for my Thanksgiving travels, but I feel like I will end up in Vienna Austria. So much music history there, art history, and different culture. Seems like a great place to spend my first solo week in Europe. Airfare seems reasonable and renting an apartment for the week, should be the best space for the money. Along with that, I will be able to cook to save money while there. Will probably book that at the end of September.

I mean come on! Austria is gorgeous!
 
 
Unfortunately I was in my first automobile accident on August 2nd, a guy in his truck pulled out in front of me, while making a left turn into a business driveway. It was his fault, but unfortunately my car was pretty much totaled. I will find out this week if his insurance company will claim it as a total loss. :( Bruised up and a concussion, luckily, today is the best my head has felt all week. Not 100% but I am definitely on the mend. THANK GOD.
 
 
 
 
Other than starting my new job, thinking of Austria, and recovering from the accident, that is what I've been up to. Looking forward to the new things and changes happening. It's like a new start, a new life.
 
Hell, I'm getting a new car, it seems appropriate. LOL
