Wow what a new year. Nothing too exciting on the actual day this side of the pond, but I'm in awe of how time flys. Longest term of school & a school xmas musical finished so now it's a hop, skip and a jump into summer holidays... well not quite yet.
The good news on the school side of things is that i've been given some money to start a concert band. Hopefully negotiations into the timetable will make my dream a reality. Having a school concert band will be 'innovative' in the UK :D I love it!! They still have to say 'yes', but while I wait i've started spending £2000 on musical instruments. Pretty cool eh? and I love a good auction on ebay.
I'm single and in a new house for 2009. My housemates are nice enough and it's conveniently closer for work. Very interesting how one change can make you reevaluate everything in a different light. Wouldn't change my experiences this past year, but they sure have changed me and it's a nice puzzle to think about the details. That's far too deep for today so i'll have to make another posting if I ever figure it out.
I've jumped back into the gym 2wice a week. Lots of swimming and cardio. I've decided I need to be in the best shape possible before hitting 30 - otherwise it could be an uphill battle. I'm starting to get comfortable in my shoes here, and some people from work are noticing. At the end of the day, I know I'm a sucker for positive reinforcement so look out school, you don't know what you're getting yourself in for!
For some reason my life always fits in cycles of 6s, 6 years of primary school, 6 years of secondary school & 6 years of university. I've decided i'll most likely have 6 in the UK before I move onto the next adventure. We've got a brand new school building to occupy my time and there's lots of leadership opportunites at my school for professional development. I'm definitely not lingering yet. With that said, I can't forget home, coming up to 2 years since I went back... and won't be there until Xmas 2009.... it looks like money will be in my cards by the summer as debts get paid off so I think I might actually see the benefits of hard work.
I'll leave this post of random mutterings at that, and look forward to endless possibilities of my next one!

Miss you Steve!! still planning to be "in and around" your area in late August.. there should be a concert you could come to and I'd love to visit and have some actual time to spend with you this time if I can. Maybe I can even stay a little longer and not fly back with the choir and hang out for a few days? Glad to see you are posting again!
Much Love, - Tay
