The United World College of the American West

That's it! That is the official name of the place that I am staying in for my training in the booming Metropolis of Montezuma, New Mexico. I heard today that during the school year they have on average 200 students at the school studying, and from what I have seen so far they are all international students. This is New Mexico! Below you are going to find some of the pictures I took from the shuttle bus window from my 2.23 hour drive from Albuquerque to Montezuma. Oddly it got greener and greener as we approached Montezuma.
When we got to Montezuma it only took a few minutes to arrive at the College and I was impressed with what I saw. There were trees and it was really, really, really green! See for yourself...
And to boot we got to stay in a castle, kind of...
So I wish I would have stayed here, but some of the conference attendants were able to stay here, and others stayed in little dormitories like those you see in the first green picture above. The rooms weren't bad, I was expecting worse...
The rooms were split in two by a wall, you see the wall on the right edge of the picture, that was it. In each room we were able to have our own desk (on right), our own dresser (far left on edge) and luckily our own bed (center). I think I have a guy as a roommate, but I haven't met him yet. I will keep you updated on this potentially awkward situation! :) It is my first night, I have Internet, but my phone is roaming, oh well. In Duchesne I only had a roaming phone, and no Internet so I guess I am moving up in the world. I will keep you update as to the fun and exciting things I have planned, or they have planned for me!

Official

It's official, I have been offered a position at Palisade High School near Grand Junction, Colorado. I got the call July 5th after a week of stressing over the fact that I might not have a job next year. The worries started about a week ago when I got a call from the Vice Principle who said that if I didn't get some official things turned in soon that they would be looking in a different direction at someone else who they stated had already filled out all the needed applications. After that phone call I took 2 days off of work in Duchesne and went down to BYU to get things taken care off. After a few hours down there I got all the forms sent that I needed to send. Earlier this week I called the District again to see if they received the forms, to which they replied that they hadn't. So I called up Angie from Duchesne and had her fax the forms over to the District so they could get the forms. Then today I got the call as I was running around SLC, and they offered me the job. So thanks to everyone who held their breath, and prayed for us because we got it. :D
