a short entry:
we drove around yesterday to see where we'll be working.
The car rides were long and I was looking out of the van windows. At a red light we stopped in front of a middle school. It was very run-down, obviously Katrina stricken. There was a sign outside that said the school's name, which I don't remember, and "home of the wildcats," which I found amusing as it very much resembled my almamater's mascot. My eyes sleepily wandered over to the next sign, that said "School Opening Aug 18" I started wondering when they'd change the sign to announce something new, and then I imagined all the uniformed students trickling in and out of the school. Then I looked at the sign again and noticed what it really said: "school opening Aug 18, 2005".
