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....

Check It,

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!
