boo
i have.....
RESURFACED!
yes. after 9 months of much blood, sweat, stress and tears i have returned to the LJ fold. i have officially finished my teaching degree and am now a teacher of science. yay. i cannot begin to start detailing how pleased and relieved i am to have finally got to this day.
there were times where i seriously considered dropping out, wondering whether i was doing the right thing, choosing the right career path. and despite all the crappy days and stressful days i've pulled through and emerged victorious. i've come to realise that i would like to pursue teaching for as long as it keeps me happy and interested and that i do enjoy teaching the age range of kids that i do. some of them i did want to throttle and some classes i dredded teaching - but it comes with the job and it's not something i can pick and choose.
so now comes two glorious months of FREE time away from uni. i've got a job for september - a school which was my first teaching placement. absolutely love it there - the teachers, support staff and kids. all this free time is allowing me to get the flat into ship shape (heh. after 7 months of living in it). we've had roaches come visit us - the problem i'm hoping has been resolved. and the place has in general been a mess, with all my paper work, resources and crap dotted all over the place. so i'm looking forward to setting the place straight.
i've already started by filling up a huge bin liner full of clothes and bags i didn't want and taking that down to the local charity shop. and i'm starting to slowly sort out all of my school stuff.
fingers crossed i'll pass my driving test next month and i can look forward to getting a car. i'm feeling so uplifted and accomplished. everything seems to be falling into place and it makes me happy.
i want to start saving when my salary starts in september. in a few years time, hopefully i'll have a bit saved to buy a house or flat.
life starts here.
