I have not posted in a while...that's because there is just too much to say! I thought my life was full before. I thought my mind was constantly blown before. Now? Fuller, blowner! In a nutshell: though the workload is truly insane and I don't always love being a student again, I feel so lucky to be in this fantastic program. I'm learning a lot of very valuable things that will make me an awesome subversive teacher, destined to struggle with administrations my entire life. I'm working with two classes I love, one JK and one grade three. I love being in this city. I love the old mansion that is ICS. I love living alone. Jeez, I always feel like Pollyanna when I write on here. It doesn't necessarily reflect my day-to-day attitude: I really, really miss my friends, my beloved cat just died, the TTC can be annoying, the family upstairs is noisy, I work even more than I did before I moved here, I still suffer from insomnia and have to wake up earlier than ever before, I still miss my grandparents constantly. Those things can add up and cure my pollyanna syndrome more often than I'd like to admit. But when I take stock, man. I'm lucky.
NYC December 10th! Soo excited.
