There's the Sun.... I've missed you.

So this week is proving to be better than the others.  We started auditions for "The Sound of Music" and despite some bumps, I think it will be fun.  It may give my roommate, Simon and I a chance to get to know each other better.  I was told this week that I most likely will be in a temporary classroom by next week.  Not the BEST outcome but better than a cart, right?  I drove some other cars this week, nothing yet, but I am proud of myself for doing it alone.  I finally got caught up on a little email which was great.  AND today they told me I'll be going to Costa Rica for 5 days for professional development!!!  HOW COOL!  And despite being nervous about the (in a whisper) big 25th birthday that is looming, my friend Monique wants to plan something.... which will be the first b-day that I haven't planned for myself since High School.  I am glad for that.  Now all I'm waiting for is that Panamanian hunk that I need for a "dance partner"  :)  So today, for the first time since I've been here I am excited.  Just takes time.
