Finally all our gear is here, which means most importantly .... I can play ice hockey this Friday at the Villagio mall! Oh yeah! Oh and our clothing is finally here too... This is nice because, since July 16 we've been wearing the same sets of clothing in our suitcases(ugh!)
There was a communal sigh of relief as we started opening boxes. There is nothing like a lot of familiar stuff to make you feel at home! The school placed all the boxes in our home while we were work... that was great!
The one thing I have noticed to my chagrin is alot of the excess unecessary stuff we sent over. No I am not talking about the hockey equipment. Mugs, silverware, lots of books, dvds, camping gear etc... we paid a good hunk of change to send, we could have bought here and not been out of pocket.
For example I thought we should have a christmas tree, so we shipped one, in retrospect not one of my more stellar decisions
Ho ho ho... It kinda feels like Christmas around here with all the opening of boxes so maybe the tree isn't totally out of place. The camping gear will be fun when we go camping out in the desert. DVD's will come in handy as we are getting tired of watching "Tooltime" reruns. As well there's nothing better than a up of coffee in an old favorite mug.As well the beds here are firm, so I am looking forward to using the egg carton foamies we sent, as well as our pillows from home.
The other thing that will be great is to get familiar pictures up on our wall, the villa is so bland, a little color will be nice.
Finally there is not alot of storage space so until I get my own classroom, many boxes will remain packed.
School is early tomorrow, the first couple of days have been great but Evelyn Lerose was right the amount of behind the scenes work is staggering! Oh yeah one other little change... apparently facial hair buys you a little more respect around here .... we'll see. Lenore isn't impressed, so I'm a little sketical ;)
