Rainy day

As far as I can tell, with the exception of Camp Mendocino, it only rains in California on the weekends. This morning was a wonderful, lazy, overcast, day light savings time day. We woke up at 10 and invaded the kitchen for an hour long breakfast where we decided we needed to take a trip into SacTown. So Brett drove the 15-p into downtown so we could go to the library and the cafe. I got a library card today! I felt so accomplished!

I love the Central Library! It's 4 floors and the whole 1st floor is kid's floor with a huge dinosaur, lots of little reading tables, and of course- this awesomely huge Willy Wonka chair! We got a lot of books about teaching, games, and autistic teaching techniques in preperation for our first day in the classrooms tomorrow. Then we walked across the downtown square to Temple Cafe to stay out of the rain, use their internet and be someplace other than base. I got Enlightenment tea- green tea with steamed milk and honey... it was the weirdest thing to order "hi, I'd like Englihtenment, please?"

Tomorrow is the first day in classrooms and I'm so excited. I just know how tired I'm going to be after we're done. I think the van ride home will be very quiet. Wish me luck!
