Snow Days (Again)

This is the first week back to school after winter break and how many classes/internship days have I attended? 0.
Zero, none, zilch.
GCS decided to call off school on Monday because of the impending winter storm, so that meant no internship. UNCG called off all classes after 4P, so that meant no night class.
UNCG closed all day Tuesday so that meant no morning class.
Aaaand, GCS decided to close again today, so that meant no internship.
I have no class on Thursdays, so that means my first official day of school will be Friday!
God just knew that we needed to jump back in very slowly :)
Our apartment has been full of people over the past few days, playing board games, cooking, doing puzzles, and watching movies. Good times, good times.

Thrift Store Finds

Thrift stores are one of my best friends and I had a couple of good finds today:


The Salvation Army thrift in Greensboro has a great book selection and I'm always keeping an eye out for books I can use in my future classroom library. I snagged Boxcar Children book #9, Caddie Woodlawn (A favorite of mine when I was younger), Annie Oakley (a part of the 'Childhood of Famous Americans' series that I also enjoyed growing up), and an old copy (1928) of 'Wind in the Willows'.
I also found a Chris Rice CD: 'Smell The Color 9'.
The Goodwill in Greensboro does not have a great book selection but they do have a great clothing selection, and I found 2 J. Crew sweaters and another nice gray sweater, all 3 of which I can wear for internship.

All great finds for a grand total of $14 dollars spent!
