I haven't posted in forever. Last time I had mentioned how too much had happened in the space between posts. It's just as true now.

I have been teaching for almost 7 months now. It's hectic. It's stressful. It's A LOT of work. But I love it. I honestly wouldn't even consider anything else as a career right now. Unless that career involved say, sleeping a lot and travelling when I felt like it. (Obviously my dream career is to be a billionaire...) My students are amazing. I have yelled a lot, and I have given out many a recess detention, but I can't imagine the schoolday without out any of them. Sure, given that I teach on a reserve, there are days when half my students don't show up, but if any of them were to leave permanently, it wouldn't be the same. I have my favorites, yes, but I hug and berate equally.
Since it's St.Patrick's day, we had a green food party today. Lettuce, cucumber, celery, beans, broccoli, grapes, lime jell-o and green pancakes were on the menu, and I think it went well. All of the food got eaten anyway, and that's usually a good indicator of how well things went.

I moved out last month. I live with one of the other teachers now. It's a small little condo, but it's not my parent's basement, and that makes it all the better. I have a lot more freedom, and I don't have to feel like a lazy bum if I stay in my pyjamas all day and watch tv or have 4 hour naps at 11:00 in the morning. It's been nice. And it really hasn't been that much of a change from living at home. Sure money is a little tighter, but it's not too bad, and if I get a job that pays a little more, or I get my raise next year, it will be easier. Plus I will have the saving experience under my belt.

I was going to write this fantastic entry about how my life is going and what's new, but I can't think of anything noteworthy. I don't have anything that I'm really proud about, or anything that I feel should be written down so that I can remember it later. I live a very boring, old lady-like life.

Case in point - it's 8:30, and I am probably going to bed in the next 20 minutes. Teaching is exhausting. Especially on holidays.
