School Begins

Classes began yesterday (half-day); Full week next week.... Seems like a good group. I anticipate a couple of problems (chatters), but not so bad.
Classroom is not completely finished, but it is fine for now. Very humid in the room. I believe there may be a mold issue.
I met the foreign-language department. Generally OK, although there is a bit of back-stabbing. My mentor is a know-it-all; socially inept, a personality conflict between us.
Lesson plans to do.

Car is still of concern. I will have to get another one soon. It will be a very busy day when it finally breaks-down. When I drive, I am always glancing at the gauges and clock (if clock goes out, I know I have a problem on my hands).
I've pretty much decided on the Scion xD. I believe it is within budget. I want to wait until next paycheck (31st), and hope to put down $1000 to lower monthly payments.
It is a bit small (too small to pack-up), but enough for a short trip.

Sadly, I believe, with the car, my financial situation will not improve..... Truth be told, the salary and insurance at this district may limit this position to one-year only. The schedule may also get tiresome (leave around 6am; return after 4pm).

Spa this past Monday- great day.

Otherwise....
1. Procrastination still a factor. I get a bust of energy (mental energy), get things done, then tired. Went to gym this morning.
2. Menchaca's upcoming semester abroad has brought another flood of memories. I must go back for a visit.
3. Lots of rain- souring the mood.

I hope the week goes well, on various levels.
