The light at the end of the tunnel!

Okay, I know. Over two weeks since a blog. Fine. Sorry.

I can't even remember what I've been doing. Time has been a blurry mess that's zipping by me! However, there are a few really great things I can share with you. Firstly, I got a job for the fall. Not just any job, THE job.

I will not be chasing children down narrow streets trying to bring them back to school

I will not be breaking up fights

I will not dread going to work

I won't cry on the way home

I won't have to travel 1 1/2 hours just to get there

I won't be sworn at, or disrespected

I won't have my heart broken on daily basis because of the horrible lives my students live

I won't even have to pack a lunch.

I will however, get to teach just art on a full time basis

I will have a studio art room to teach in

I will look forward to work and not be in a hurry to go home

I will instead see the rich lives my students lead and the love from their parents they deserve

I will get to eat meals by the school's nutritionist which I wont have to pay a penny for!

I will feel a sense of pride and accomplishment in my career

I have landed a job at a private preparatory school and will be the art specialist for years 5 and 6. I know I put in my dues this past years and nothing could make me appreciate the job to come in the fall more. The school is absolutely lovely - based in an old century Victorian school with brand new facilities inside. I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!! I have complete control over my curriculum as well, I have been given ideas to follow, but can do whatever I please! Lemme tell you, when I cover textiles, we are going to be making moccasins! I am so excited!!!

So, home in two weeks on Friday!!!!! I can't believe nearly a year has passed...It is so scary how the time flew by. I'm very excited to go home and see everyone. I am also MORE than excited to inform you I have only 7 teaching days (after today) left. The kids are off the wall and so am I by this point.

Before that though, one of my best friends Mel from Barrie and her boyfriend are going to be here visiting, and another friend from teacher's college is also passing through. It will be great to see some familiar faces!

Anyway, I'm off - I know this blog is short and lame, but I took the morning off to go see an eye doctor... I don't know if I'm just ALWAYS tired, or I need glasses, but I have to get this sorted!

Love you all and see you very soon!

Ps. My sister's coy way of getting me to blog/email yielded no results in finding out if she is having a boy or a girl! It was a ploy to get me to send her an email, but the baby was not cooperating so she doesn't know either!!! Erin, I will try to email you more soon. Even if I don't manage it, I will see you in two weeks!
