I survived another year!


Hooray! I finally completed another semester... and start my summer school on Monday.... I am very excited for my placement. I was supposed to complete it this semester but did not get my police check back in time. It was a little bit of a blessing in disguise. I was not as stressed this semester with the usual 4 courses and a 2 day a week placement, and work rather I will only have 1 course placement Monday and Wednesday and work Tues, Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sun! Phew hopefully I can keep that straight... Anyways I start on Monday am and I have been placed at  Centennial Infant and Child Center, check it out! It looks like an amazing program and I have only heard good things from everyone I know that has been there. It is an early intervention early years program that works as a reverse integration child care center. So excited I know I will love it!

I also got a transfer position at work the same one I was supposed to get moths ago which I figured would be bitter sweet. I am definitely looking forward to it at this point. Time for a change and a fresh start. I am also looking forward to more normal hours. Instead of the dreaded 3-11 I will be like a normal person I think I have forgot what it is like to eat dinner with my own friends and family or go for a drink or to a movie after work.

Hope I can keep you all updated but I'm sure once Monday rolls around I'll drop off the map again...

One more piece of good news.... Tory comes home for a month in July!!!!! Can't wait...
"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain."
-- Jim Morrison

Thinking about it.....?

Loving this I think I'm gonna cut it....

This is more of what it will prob look like since my hair has a mind of it's own.

New years!

When I woke up this morning and it was cold and dark all I wanted to was stay warm and cozy under my toasty duvet. I fought it! Woke up threw on the coffee marker, jumped in the shower and treked it to the subway station. Okay fine I was late, but expected. Better late than never!

On my way there, I remembered how my friend had invited me to Blue Mt for her boyfriends birthday this weekend. The last time I went was for new years and it was so nice. We stayed at her aunt's beautiful home right at the bottom of the mountiain. NewYears eve was quiet and nice, we had planned on going snowboarding the next day, but it rained so instead we went here instead!

The Scandinave Spa Blue Mt, ON
How beautiful! I really want to go back this weekend and get the works! We only went in the baths last time, apparently you have to book months in advance to get a massage. Especially on a long weekend. I really hope I can swing it this weekend, put my request in, fingers crossed. Hopefully looking forward to a full day of snow boarding followed by a massage and soak in the hot baths, and a cup of tea... Ahhhhh!
