The victim of an aggravated DWI! Owner of an even more ghetto car! Still able to drive it somewhat! Moving! A "Peace Camp" volunteer teacher! Crazy busy with school!
Yes, it is all true. I was hit by a drunk dude who messed up my car... 3 weeks ago? yes. My friend said "It's a hate crime--he smashed you right on the Obama sticker." Dude spent a week in jail before he was even allowed to post bond, no idea if he did or if he's still in jail. Aggravated DWI, fleeing the scene, careless driving charges. DA's going to contact me when they've got a court date so that I might ask for restitution when he goes to trial. Oh yeah, he was uninsured, too!
The beautiful scenery is where I like to go jogging in the evening. It's finally cool enough to exercise outside when the sun starts to go down. It's perfect because the sky is the most beautiful it could possibly be at that point!
Peace Camp: It's a not-for-profit endeavor that my Americorps/Border Servant Corps friends have been running. I co-taught two weeks' worth of Media Awareness lessons to 4th-7th graders and then to 1st-3rd graders. Making up lesson plans is hard! Was a really busy time to do it, too--during these intensive 5 week summer school courses, but it's the type of experience I would be silly to say No to.
School: Really busy! This is the final week of the 5 week courses and there is lots to be read, contemplated, reflected on, and written about. I just turned in two shorter papers, now I have one 8-pager and two 10-pages by the end of the week. The length isn't a challenge so much as the content.
Boys: They are there, but there is not enough time to get to know them! AHHH!!
Moving: 340 N. Melendres St., Las Cruces NM 88005 will be my new address as of August 8th. Store it away for a nice snail mail letter that you will soon write me. You know I write back. :)
What are YOU doing??
Love, Abby
