Where do my weekends go?!

It seems that when Friday afternoon is too far away and it can't come any quicker, Monday morning is right on its heels! I am getting settled into my new school, but things are really taking a lot longer than I anticipated. My classroom is in a state of disarray and I am trying so hard to get it, as well as all of the planning, sorted so that it is in functioning order. It is a process though!

This weekend I did two things that were fairly exciting. I went bowling with some friends on Friday (one of my new friends who has only bowled 3 times ever got 6 strikes in a row...whaaaaat!? Liar, I think!) Saturday I spent the ENTIRE day at my old bar doing planning. I wasn't going to get anything done at home so I decided to go there. I know it sounds bad - school planning and booze...could yield interesting results! But they have wireless internet and comfortable couches, as well as free food and drinks (non-alcoholic) so it ended up being very productive. Sunday though, now Sunday was a good day! It was a gorgeous day with the sun shining and mild temperatures so I went to the London Zoo!!!! It was amazing! My favourite was the pygmy hippo - it looked like a dinosaur! Very prehistoric! I REALLY wanted to touch it, but I think they frown upon that sort of thing. After the zoo I spent some time with a friend from Columbia (yes, Columbia) in Camden Town, eating traditional Venezuelan food and exploring Camden Market. What an amazing place - you can get ANYTHING there!

My pottery class is going SO well. I figured out that since I'm left handed the wheel has to spin the opposite direction, so I am fighting with fire now!!!! I can do it both ways, but left handed is WAY easier! I actually made a vase last week, and it looks exactly how it is supposed to! I can't wait for this Wednesday. I enjoy it so much! Those 3 hours go by so fast and I'm beginning to be the first one in, last one out to squeeze in as much time as possible!

I know this blog is rather short in comparison to previous ones, but really, nothing too exciting happened to let you know about! Oh, I got a haircut, and the weather is strange. Sunny, calm, windy, raining, foggy - all in one day - and generally speaking, at least 5 days of the week are like that!

Erin's baby is due on FRIDAY!!!!! Although, with Erin's luck he/she will just stay put for a week or two later!

Lots of love,
