Aside from not making it to the housing search in Charlotte, the weekend wasn’t too bad. Friday night I was worrying quite a bit because my battery was dead and I had no idea where in Charlotte I was going to live. I had intended to get to know people and research housing in Charlotte while at institute, but I just haven’t had time. Tanesha’s (our CS specialist) 25th birthday so she had a party at Strip (no, not a strip club – it was one of those semi-awkward mixes between a restaurant and a club. Afterwards, a few friends and I went to several bars in downtown Atlanta. It wasn’t bad by any means but it’s not my ideal night. There’s a lot of smoking at the bars that I’m just not used to and it’s so loud you practically have to shout to have a conversation.
Sunday morning I had to get a new battery for my car. I did not expect to have to get a new battery this soon, but at least I think I can feel confident that the next time I need to go somewhere my car will start – and not die on the way to wherever I’m going. I should be fine on money, but unexpected expenses are one more reason I’m looking forward to getting a paycheck. Sunday evening I played soccer with the Eastern North Carolina corps at the turf field. Right after we started it began to pour rain but we played through. It was a blast, but wearing indoor shoes on a soaking wet turf leads to much slipping and sliding.
Class today was quieter than usual. Several students were having trouble staying awake even when I woke them up as I was walking around. In the future, if a student falls asleep or has his or her head down, they will stand next to their desk to ensure that they stay awake. I was talking to Ms. Jones afterward and she was really helpful in giving me that idea.
