A New Start

My life has had a lot of craziness recently. As I mentioned, I went to California, used public transit, and didn't sleep. The result: I go Mono. Worst thing ever.
Then, three weeks later, I started my career as a High School Physics Teacher. Thankfully, God is good, and the first day that I felt 100% happened to be the first day of school. A total miracle.
That did put me in the place of starting school feeling very unprepared, but I have felt humbled, and I know that this is an opportunity for me to rely on God. I can't do this on my own. Today I finished my third day of school, and it is going well. I haven't gotten to know my students very well yet (I have taken away two phones already, but that is another story), so I haven't gotten to do the part I love yet, but that will come.
Another adventure has been that my classroom was under construction and I couldn't use it for the first day of school. I am temporarily in the Biology Lab room. That has worked out just fine, but will be a great story some day. In way, it has helped me not stress over my room because I couldn't. God took that stress out of my hands to where it wasn't in my control anymore, so now I am perfectly okay with the fact that my room is not cute. It is as empty as a racquetball court. It will all come in time. It is a new adventure, a stressful one, but everything going according to God's timing and plan. Everything is working out. It's gonna be a great year. :)

My classroom. They did finish painting it, But it is
still basically this empty. That is a random
vaulted ceiling in the middle.

This is the classroom I am using temporarily. It is a
tight fit for my 40 AP students (one big class),
but it has windows, which is nice.
