One down, four to go! And gosh, are freshmen awkward.
I was probably shaking the entire time, but I survived my first class. I got up at a very dark 5:45 AM and rolled out of bed, into my first day of school teacher dress, and was out the door by 6:30! Even though I wanted to leave by 6:15... I wasn't expecting anyone else to be in the bathroom before 6 AM, but my housemate Eva also has an early day. Iced coffee, hot tea, and a granola bar in the car (I could have opened a mobile cafe), and watched the sun rise on my way here, and after an exciting school-wide assembly, class started.
And really, freshmen are so awkward. But some of them were so much fun! And terrified, but excited to learn.
I'm currently at my desk, watching my amazingly talented co-worker John teach his juniors. I hope that I can some day teach as well as he can! That's all for now... just wanted to check in :). Thank you all so much for the tweets, texts, calls, and notes of support over the past few days and weeks. I feel so consumed by love and grace... and so incredibly lucky to have the support system that I do and to be in this incredible school!

PS- I got a mystery package... who sent me a map of Houston and two Houston books from Amazon? THANK YOU! Please take credit so I can thank you accordingly :).
