Mr. Acosta: Let the Games Begin
http://mracosta.blogspot.com/2008/08/let-games-begin.html
Wednesday, August 27, 2008. Let the Games Begin. Before moving anything (left). Because of that I am going to keep this short and sweet (as per usual) and fill in some of the gaps since last time. NYC rules. I am having a great time here, but often find the transition difficult. Have some great new friends. Many of whom came to my place for my birthday! Which was great. At the same time I really, really miss a lot of my friends in Seattle. Wilfred came to visit for 10 days. It was great! I need a dresser.

Mr. Acosta: First Impressions
http://mracosta.blogspot.com/2008/06/first-impressions.html
Tuesday, June 24, 2008. It has been quite sometime since I have been able to make a post with any substance. And there is still no time. SO MANY PEOPLE. 580 something to be exact. All recent graduates from various universities and colleges across the U.S. I have been able to meet a number of solid people, which is very humbling and exciting. Went to the base of the Brooklyn bridge. Walked around Manhattan last night. Ruled. Had an expensive Chipotle burrito ($7.75! Then me and my two roomies (Nate and Pa...

Mr. Acosta: D-Day
http://mracosta.blogspot.com/2008/09/d-day.html
Tuesday, September 2, 2008. That's right, D-Day. Today marked the beginning of my career as a teacher. Sitting here at 11:25 after the first day of teaching and knowing I have a billion other things I should be doing instead of updating a blog is somewhat daunting. I am no longer in charge of only my life. Instead, I have been enlisted to teach six 7th grade girls for the next ten months. So it begins. Yet, there is good news! That's all I have for now, but trust me it's only the beginning. PS I know you...
