Hi everyone! I know that I don't write in this thing nearly as often as I used to - I'm getting lazy I know. Anyway I just wanted to let you know what's been going on, and honestly, not a whole bunch! I unfortunately didn't get on with the Calgary school board (their loss) so life isn't leading me right now - not in the near future anyway. I thought I might have had a good chance with West Vancouver but somehow that didn't work out either. So I'm looking into other directions now! Here are the places that I'm looking [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone! I know it's been forever since I've written on this thing, and many probably think that I'm slacking! But here I am - just wanted to drop you a quick line to say what I've been up to these past few weeks. I stopped working at my summer job Sept. 1st, and then I went back to my old employer at Carleton and have been doing some work for them. It's keeping the money coming in, but it's certainly not full time hours. Then a couple weeks ago I found out that I've gotten an interview in Calgary! :-) [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone! It's been a few weeks since I last posted a blog for you guys so I thought it was about time to let you know what's up with me. Well I'm pretty sure I mentioned in my last blog that I was hoping to score this job with the disabled persons org. here in Ottawa, which I did! :-) I really enjoy the work - it's nothing like I've ever done before and super independent. I basically go into public businesses to see how accessible they are for people in wheelchairs. That's the jist of it, and it's really [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone! I know it's been a long time since I've updated my blog so I figured it was about time. Quite a bit has happened in my life since school ended at the end of April. I got a part-time job at The Bay but don't feel that it's right for me because I've done the retail thing already. I got another job actually that's more interesting and feel that I'd enjoy it more. I start on the 26th and I'll tell you more about it then. In terms of teaching related jobs, I'm still waiting for opportunities to come [View Full Entry]

Well, everyone, I'm finally at home now! And boy does it feel strange knowing that I'm all done and graduated and officially a teacher! :-) I will be staying with my parents until Monday and then I'm off to Ottawa to be with the boy! I'm very excited. I've applied for a number of different jobs (both temporary for the summer as well as permanent teaching positions). I've applied for most of the teaching positions in Calgary. There are TON of opportunities down there so I'm really hoping. Other than that, I've hung out with my good friend/old roommate, Olivia and [View Full Entry]

Well guys, I'm almost done here! It's crazy to think that I'll be a certified teacher in a matter of 2 days! It's happened soooo fast - it's nuts! I will have 2 more days of placement and then I will fly home on Thursday - first to Mississauga, and then the following Monday I'm off to Ottawa. Placement has gone really well since I last wrote an entry for my blog. I honestly think that my associate might like me! It was hard to tell for a while but I think that's just the type of person she is. I've [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone! Well, I'm glad that my blog is up and running again! It was down and I couldn't login for some reason. I also still can't figure out what's up with the pics I've uploaded. Anyway I'm not the only one that is having the problem so hopefully it will be figured out soon. Other than that, I'm preparing to go home - already!! I have only 6 teaching days left of placement and I'm leaving for home on the 27th! I'm super excited :-) It seems like ages since I've seen my family. My placement is going well this [View Full Entry]

Hi all! I figured it's been quite some time since I wrote an update on my life here in Thunder Bay! So I thought it was about time that I did :-) Time has really flown the past 8 months. I'm already seeing an end in sight! There are only 3 weeks left until I'm done my 2nd placement! I feel like it's going a lot better than the first :-) There is a lot of pressure to do well but I also feel like I'm better suited for primary grades. I've been busy with placement stuff as well as applying [View Full Entry]

Forgot to mention - my bf AND my roommate, Olivia (the girl that I've spent all my time with) left on the same day so yeah, I'll have some new things to get used to now! It was a pretty sad day! :-( [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone :-) Sorry I haven't updated this thing in a while. I guess you could say that things have been pretty crazy with exams the last couple of weeks. This week I've finally gotten a chance to relax for a bit and catch up on sleep. My bf also came down to surprise me last week right before my 2nd last exam and I was in TOTAL shock when I saw him. For the past 2 months, I totally thought he wasn't coming. Anyway it was a wonderful surprise and we had a great weekend. We went to check out [View Full Entry]
