So this is it! Today is the day I officially have to pack up most of the things I will need for the next 8-10 months and leave. Am I looking forward to it? Not one bit. Am I looking forward to finally teaching Science? You betcha! Will I miss the school I was in last year? Without a doubt! I'd love to go back there but it was impossible this year.
So with all that being said.... I have to pack. I have so much done but I have no idea what I will need for the next little while. I'll be living out of a suitcase until I can find somewhere to live. I'm staying with my sister temporarily.
As well, I am officially starting back to Weight Watchers on Tuesday. I'm not joining up again but I have the starter kit that I'm going to try to work with this time. Hopefully it will help out somewhat.
Well this is it! The next post will come to you from my hometown. After that, who knows.
Until then ... so long St. John's!
(take good care of my boyfriend will you??)

E.L.F.
So I just placed my first order into E.L.F. and I'm very excited to recieve it. I've always wanted to try their products so I ordered some nail polish, concealers, eyeshadow and brushes, lip stuff and eyeliner. Now anyone who knows me, know I don't wear makeup... well much anyways. But I want to play around with it because you never know. I want to change some stuff about myself and maybe this can be one of them. I only ordered natural looking things nonetheless.
So we just realized that the boyfriends cousin's wedding is NEXT WEEKEND. Holy eff.. I didn't realize it was that soon. So in reality, I leave here Friday, drive to new place Sunday, work from Tuesday to Friday, leave Friday and drive back to town and then wedding on Saturday and drive back on Sunday. Then work on Monday.
But right now I`m going to try to go and get some sleep. I didn`t sleep very well last night or this morning. Then we lost the water because of a water main break. I need a shower!

Ramblings of the overtired girl...
So right now it is 3:42AM, Newfoundland standard time of course! I am sitting here in the dark, listening to the boyfriend snore. Why can't I sleep? WHY??
I was all comfy and ready to sleep around 12ish, when the brain went into overdrive and I started to worry about the upcoming school year. This lead me to reading and printing off more of the curriculum guide and finding stuff on share point. I've realized that I need more of a refresher than I thought. It's been 4 years since I've completed my Biology degree, 5 years since I've taken any Biology courses and 6 since I've taken any Chemistry. I am teaching both starting next week! Oh boy! I know what tomorrow is going to consist of for sure.
Am I nervous? Hell yeah! Am I scared? You bet! I am going to a new school after all. I saw on facebook how friends of mine will be teaching at the school I was at last year and it makes me sad. Then I wonder how all my former students are doing. I miss them. It was like that during my internship too. I missed some of them when I left. I had some of them coming through the drive thus at KFC with their parents and telling me how they were doing. (Aww). But it was nothing like the bond I made with some students last year.. being it was my first class alone as a 'real' teacher. I think last year went great. Was I a good teacher? Probably not. Will I improve? Hell yeah.. but I'm teaching something I'm good at and passionate about this time around. Do I think I made a lasting impression on the students? I know in some I did. I know other's didn't like me. But that comes with being a teacher.
Lastly, I think I have a new obsession with Forever 21. I went there while I was in Orlando and bought the cutest earrings ever. I keep looking on their website and fighting the urge to order stuff. If I knew my size there for sure, I so would. Oh well.
I think I should try to sleep. Boyfriend will be getting up for work in 3 hours and waking me again. *le sigh*

Annoyed
What do you do when it seems as if you're forced to choose between friends? Granted, you've never actually met these people but they've become dear friends in a fandom you enjoy.
I. Feel. Torn.
Like seriously, should I be expected to choose between two groups of people when I have no beef with either? Sure one side seems to treat me a whole lot better than the other. But what really rots me is I think I am being judged because of it but other's aren't.
Maybe I'm just reading too much into things, but that's how it feels. This is suppose to be an escape from the real world but lately it is causing me too much grief.

Introduction
So I've been wanted to start journaling again, start a scrapbook, keep a blog, write poems/songs, write stories.. just be creative as I use to be before life happened and messed with my creativity.
So I figured I'd start with a blog. I'm getting ready to move onto yet another life adventure next month, by moving to a new place and taking a new job. This year I'll be working in a replacement position, teaching high school science. I'm very excited about the prospects of teaching science, as science is a passion of mine. However, I am going to miss the school I was in last year. I had some great students, some of whom I miss greatly; I worked with a great staff.. whom I will miss greatly as well. It was my first real position and I guess it will always hold a special place in my heart. But I guess it's time to move on. I think it is affecting me so much because a friend of mine just got a position there for four months and I wish I was going back there as well.
My allergies have been driving me insane lately. I spend most of the morning sneezing my head off and then miserable and no energy for the rest of the evening. I've been trying to clean out this place as well. I've managed to finally get our bedroom done. After supper I'm going to tackle the living room. I have a new vacuum, which delights me a little too much.
So what can be expected in this blog? Well almost anything really. But for now, I'm going to leave it at that.
