The Aftermath - Day 1

These are pictures of Chelsea's classroom at the end of day 1. I forgot to take before pictures, but let's just agree that it looks nicer than it did.


At this point we didn't really have all the layout decided

We mostly threw out old stuff, cleaned and organized.

Lots of things needed moving and fixing

At this point we are pleased, but know more work will come

This closet was gross and now its kind of better

Time to go, look at those neat desks

Look at all that stuff to unpack and sort

We decided that we really needed to use this umbrella

The one nice thing about this room, clean new carpet

The whiteboard is SO dirty, very difficult to clean

Those cubbyholes were full of stuff and the top was piled with things

We got the teacher desk set up, one thing off the list.

Day 1 was definitely difficult, we could not do a lot with the furniture until the late afternoon, because there was a large case of stuffed birds in the room, gross, but we eventually got it all done - or at least all we could do that day.

Hey

You ever feel like one day you wouldn't wake up? Like one day your life as you know it would be over? I am not saying suicide, in fact anything, but...more like just death, or dying in your sleep sort of thing. I mean is it normal to think about that sort of thing? I mean I assume it is. I suppose everyone thinks about their mortalitity, but I have to ask, how much is too much? Should people be thinking about these sort of things daily, I mean not all the time, but at least at one point or another. It's complicated. What the hell. Huh, I guess I am just over thinking things. I mean we all die, its natural, its normal, but what is about death that fascinates people? Well perhaps not fascinate, but at least interests people or makes them think about it to some degree. Is it that fact that we're self aware and understand the concept of mortality. I mean do you suppose, if you think about it, most animals have no concept of mortality, do they? Although some would argue that perhaps elephants do. I mean take for instance I have a cat, do you think for one moment, he ever thinks about death, that one day he'll breath his last breath and that's that? I am going to guess no, but I really don't know. For all I know he thinks about it regularly, but obviously I can't understand him, and I don't know what he is thinking. So perhaps it is a moot point to even ask such a question. It feels better talking about this. I've been reading alot about religion, another reason I kind of bring this up. I find that people have strange ideas about the afterlife as it were, I mean some people think it is open to everyone, and others think there are exact numbers and no one else gets in at all no questions asked, I supposed I should clarify I am referring to heaven, or the concept there of. I mean the fact is pretty much all of them believe everyone is going to go somewhere, probably more likely hell or some type of pergatory, rather than heaven. Of couse, it is all a little strange, you would think that with six + billion people, more people would think similarly. I mean I understand that 1 Billion + people share one or more common religion, however, I just find it strange that there are so many divides and sects, and other things that make people lose sight of the big picture and bog themselves down on minute details. This, however, is another discussion altogether. Well, that's all for today. I think I am pretty much done for now.

I don't have a clue

I'm so very tired. It's almost all the time now.
