Hi Everyone!
Long time no type... I hope that you are all well! I am only 3 weeks away from finishing all of my classes. And THEN 5 weeks of placement and tada! I will be able to fulfill my biggest goal in life, to be a certified teacher! This also means I will be home in exactly 4 weeks to the day.
I am very excited to come home. But at the same time, I know that I will miss a lot of people around here. I know that I will keep in contact with those who have impacted my life. I will write more VERY soon!

And so the count down begins...
Hey, hey, hey...
Well I have been home for 6 and a half weeks now which means my time here is quickly coming to an end. It has been a great time back in London; I had the opportunity to teach grade 2 (which was AWESOME) and had the chance to see a lot of great friends. There are a few I still have to see but only a limited time in which to see them. I know that we will do what we can...
On January 2nd, I will find myself flying up to the North Pole... Okay, so it's Thunder Bay but I am sure it will feel like the North Pole. Last week I was checking the temperature and it was -24 C... What am I going to do??? Wear lots of layers I assume. I am looking forward to heading back up though and seeing my peeps up there. I cannot believe I only have 9 more weeks of classes. It is going to fly by and I want to cherish every minute!
I hope you are all ready for Christmas although I know I am not. ha, ha... I will write on or before Saturday, so happy prepping everyone!

WOW! It has been a while...
Hello all!!! I cannot believe I haven't written anything in exactly a month... Wow, I have been home for a month and what a busy month it has been! I cannot even begin to share how happy I am to be in London and doing what I have dreamed of doing my whole life. I cannot imagine doing anything other than teaching. I LOVE IT! I have been student teaching in a grade two class and it is an absolute joy. I mean, some days they can be little terrors but for the most part, they are awesome kids and are very smart. I have one official week left but I will be going in for two more weeks so I can finish the year off with them.
Home has been crazy! Trying to see people and feeling like there are never enough hours in a day. But as it gets a little closer to Christmas I am reminded that I will be headed to the Great White North soontime! We will see just how weak I am when it comes to the cold. ha ha... This will be an interesting experience. Well boys and girls, I am off to do some marking. I hope you are all having a great weekend. Only 19 days left until the Jesus' Birthday!!!

Colder in the South...
Ok... So, when I said I was moving to Thunder Bay, Ontario, everyone said it would be so cold. I am just putting this thought out there, but why is it that I left Northern Ontario where the weather was more than comfortable (yesterday I was outside in a T-shirt) to come to Southern Ontario where I need a winter jacket.... What is going on her!
As you can see I have landed safe and sound. Glad to be back in L-town but already miss T-Bay. If I could merge the two, I would be set. Well now comes the hard part... Time to unpack. This could be torturous but I will work it out. Just wanted to check in. See you all soon!

One day left...
Hey Everyone,
As I continue to procrastinate, I am writing to let you all know I will be officially finished my first semester of classes in less than 24 hours. I have really enjoyed my first stint here in T-Bay. Most of the people up here are pretty awesome, and my roommate is super fun! We have such a good time discussing life and philosophical debates and all sorts of other things.
I am home in almost three days. And off to the races I am! Starting almost as soon as I get in the craziness that is my life in London will begin. Saturday marks my return to work and I could not be more excited! Which will be followed by an exciting night with a group of my peeps that I cannot wait to see! Well friends, I have to go and study for my two exams that I have tomorrow. See you all soon!

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!
So ladies and gentlemen,
I am sad to say my first nine weeks of school up here in Thunder Bay are coming to an end. Since the moment I stepped off the plane and first saw Cass and then her mom and soon to be step-dad, I have not really looked back. Do not get me wrong, I do miss home and the people there but I opened myself up to this adventure and I am very grateful for that. I have met some very cool people up here. Some friends I know will be around for a very long time and some I know are around for the season. Because as I have learned throughout life, people enter your life for reasons and seasons. I have learned so much here, both personally and professionally. I am slowly becoming comfortable in my ability to becoming a great teacher, but also very apprehensive as I head home to complete my first placement in a grade one classroom. The excitement of student teaching is growing although the idea of leaving Thunder Bay has me a little bit sad. At least I know I will be back in a couple months.
Don't worry though because I am looking forward to coming home to see everyone. My first weekend back is already packed with so much fun and goodness. I am sure that my two months home will be the same. So bring in the noise, bring in the funk! I hope everyone is ready for my return...haha... not that I expect you to miss me, but I really do :P I am off to bed... long day ahead....

Two weeks to go!
Well good evening all! It has been a LONG time since I have written anything. Last night was P.O.E.T.S. meeting #2, and let me tell you, I am sooooooo bad at karaoke. ha ha... But it was a great time! Can you believe I have been up here for 8 weeks already!?! It's crazy I know. As much as I am looking forward to seeing everyone at home, I am not ready to leave here just yet. I really love it!
School has been pretty crazy and has been keeping me very busy. I have two tests this week and at least one major assignment due. I feel like I am running out of time. I have been trying to complete the assignment all weekend and still feel as though I am making absolutely no headway. Well I still have one day. Let's hope it goes well. I must be super busy since I haven't written in almost a month.
I just had an awesome and well needed skype visit with my family. It is great seeing them all, including friends of my brother's who I have not seen in forever! As much as I know I will miss it here while I am home, I look forward to spending time with the important people in my life. But for now I am signing off. I have some reading to do before I hit my pillow. Hope you all rest well!
