Summer Summer Summer

Summer Holidays begin!! I've just wrapped up my second official year of teaching and live to tell the tale. It's been a difficult year and i've learned a lot about myself, teaching, responsibility & relationships. There's definitely no perfect solution, but over time things seem to get smoother.

I leave this year being fully qualified to teach in the United Kingdom. They even gave me a nice certificate stating so. My contract at work is now permanent full time and I have the pleasure of taking on a full timetable because the department is now divided between two teachers instead of three like last year.

As for now summer is about to begin. The first two weeks i'm going to get all my prep done, put up new displays at school and reorganize my teaching files. That will leave me with the last four weeks to become completely relaxed, able to do whatever I want and feel condfident/prepared for September!

What am I up to? Besides visiting a couple friends in London, I will be cycling across Ireland for the middle two weeks of August, picking up my guitar chops on the back patio, reading a couple books and learning the finer art of making sushi :D

Let summer begin!!!
