Day 2

It's a miracle. After no posts for over a year, two in two days. It is only a matter of time until.......

In other breaking news, today was good. A quick breakdown of the day....

So, the lights on my Buick are automatic. They turn on if it is dark enough and then go off when it is bright enough or the car gets shut off. When I got to the high school at about 7:19, the lights were still on. I shut my car off, locked, and went inside knowing that it takes a long time (and by long, I mean at least three minutes long) for my lights to automatically shut off. I had been in the school for at least 2 minutes and 59 seconds when over the loud speaker I hear, "There is a car in the staff parking lot with Illinois plates and the lights are on!" By 3 minutes and 18 seconds after entering the school building, I looked back outside and they were already off.

Wednesday's are late start days for the students. Once a month, there is a staff meeting in the morning and today was that day. In the staff meeting, Mr. Morgan introduced me and said, "[. . .] and he is from Illinois." I think I turned about 27 different shades of red (and it can take a bit to turn me red!) :)

Everyone was very friendly and I am really enjoying my time at Rock Creek thus far! A quick run down of today.

1st Block - Hort - Plant ID, went to the greenhouse to check on plants

5th Block - Ag Mech - Working through electricity, talked about ohms, watts, volts, etc

Day 2 is complete. Day 3 has been canceled. Unreal! I like what I am doing so far and look forward to it although I know it is going to be a ton of work! I am going to try and enjoy my day off tomorrow and begin to prepare for the PLT and my content test this Saturday!

Enjoy the snow! I am! I love snow!!!!!!!
