Ok, so I really don't have much to say today...except that my first ever DODEA observation went well, despite the fact that now my projector in my classroom is possessed (I think it has something to do with the area...so much history of death etc with the wars and all). But, it showed my ability to improvise, as the many times that the technology failed me, I proceeded like a champ.
On a good note, my car went in to see the mechanic this past Saturday. The guy couldnt find why the car would honk on its own so we figured maybe he fixed it by taking it apart and putting it back together (it wouldnt honk for him like it did for me)...so I went on my merry way, with a car that wasnt honking and the heater was actually finally working (YIPPEE!!)...but wait, as I drove onto Ramstein Airbase what did I hear? Oh yes, it was Christine (aptly named after the famous Stephen King story) honking her hello to cars on the way. UGGGGG So after I was done on Ramstein, I drove back to Pulaski in frustration...Christine should have been hanging her head, if she had one. So I talked to another guy and asked can we just disconnect the stupid thing (it is against the law to just honk for no reason in this country and I am tired of bothering my neighbors at 0 dark thirty when Christine honks good morning to them). So the guy says sure we can undo the fuse...seems that the cables for the horn were kind of corroded, and low and behold they were on the left side of the car...usually the honking accured with left turns. Needless to say, she has not been honking since that discovery :) It feels so good to be able to drive without worry of that accidental honk...it was so embarrasing :)
Some have asked, "so what are your big plans for Thanksgiving?" Hmmm well I dont think I will be having turkey (unless its a turkey sandwich) but I am starting to do some volunteer time for the USO so I am doing that on Thursday...then attempting to find some wifi somewhere that will allow me to call home and say Happy Thanksgiving (since I dont get internet until Friday...hopefully), probably stop by Globus (an amazing store) and get some spiesbratton and see if there is anything I need to send home...and other than that, I am thinking its looking like a movie night or reading time. I did get a pumpkin pie (cant go without any of the traditional stuff).
