Rolling into Houston...

Hi guys,
     We left checked out of SMU this morning at 9:30 and made a huge caravan down to Houston...boy is it hot here. The ride was fine I studied for most of the time...we stopped at Subway for lunch and I have been going through orientation for Rice University. They have a beautiful campus but the dorms we are in are quite weird. They are new dorm and have gone "green" so the lights are automatic with motion sensors and cut off every 15 minutes, the air conditioning will shut off if you have your window open or door propped open, and let just say a very unique bathroom. I luckily have the same roommate from SMU, Emily, which is good because we get along well and we can study for our TeXes exam together. I spent my free time today unpacking and learning about what I will be doing tomorrow. Tomorrow I have to be ready to board my bus at 6:30 in the morning and head over to Patrick Henry Middle School where I will be teaching and "learning to teach" for the next 5 weeks. I don't know what grade or subject I am teaching yet but I am sure I will find out tomorrow when I get to the school. It all very exciting and overwhelming at the same time but I am learning to take lots of deep breathes. I was able to talk to my friend Allie McKinney today which was an awesome surprise and I am so excited about her engagement and it was so good to catch up with her. I found out I have the HONOR of being a bridesmaid in her wedding and could not be more EXCITED!!!!!! Okay well I am going to grab dinner and then head to target and get some things before heading off to bed for an eaerly start tomorrow at Patrick Henry Middle School! (By the way I will be teaching my first lesson plan on Thursday...keep me in your prayers)
Love yall,
Molly
