Boo Summer School...

So it's that time of year again I am back in summer school the usual snooze fest. Good news this is my final course horray I thought I would never see the day. I am currently dragging my way through the 2nd last day of my Concept in Math Development course. It really hasn't been that bad although I could think of loads of other things I would rather be doing. I am also looking for my 4th year placement which I am really hoping I will be able to get into a Children's Aid Association, it's gonna be tough but I have spoken to everyone I know to pull strings so hopefully I can make it happen. 


So little update. I am moving back to Oakville.... (long pause) I am not too sure how I feel about this just yet. I am extremely happy that I will be able to get to and from work in less than 10 mins amazing. I will be able to see my Nan lots and I will be living with my brother. I think I maybe be excited but will still miss the city I may be bored but at least it will be the winter months so I won't be missing out on too much. I just figure I will have to make the most of my last summer in the city, until things change again. I will probably come back once I get my life sorted out. 


Next update finally changed jobs at work. I thought I was destined to drive myself insane working at Washington forever but I finally left Horray!!!! My new job is great! I work 11-7 somewhat normal hours I have some time to myself in the evening to have friends now that school is finally over I am learning how to use my unstructured time as my cousin would say. 


I am still working 7days a week, I took a part time job two days a week at the Ontario Collalition for Better Child Care. Amazing opportunity and I am learning lots but I also feel like it is way over my head. policy and procedures, politics and advocacy sometimes it's pretty intense. To be honest I am happy to be in summer school this week because I'm sure shit is hitting the fan over there after the city released it's consultation report which put child care in the zone to save money in the cities budget. I'll be back next week to fill you in. 


Last night I got a great bargain on a bed I bought a queen size box spring off of craigslist for $40.00!!! What a deal! bad part having to carry it two blocks home (Thanks Elle) :) Note Elle and I have been selling our lives on Craigslist and are getting rich doing it what I great idea.


Also very excited that Tory, Marc and Cassie will be here on Tuesday!!! For an entire month I am so excited to see her we will have to plan some good stuff. I am also going camping with some girlfriends the last week of July which should be a blast! Bought some cute t-shirts and gonna get my pasty bum a tan. It's always a great time to see my friends from college I wish we lived closer and life didn't always get in the way. 




Well that is all for now supposed to be a beautiful weekend I have half made plans to get to a beach, go out for a high school friends bachlorette and maybe do some vintage shopping and patio drinking with a good friend I haven't seen in ages. Oh I also wanna get out and take some pictures a friend and I are looking for a cheap 101 course so if you see anything let me know. Oh and go bike riding bixi time!!! 

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when their right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

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

This little girl is amazing!

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!

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!
