it's about time!!

Again, an age since I updated.


Since the last, rather frustrated, blog, things at work and home have got increasingly more frustrating. Pay rise revoked "until we know what your plans are" - SERIOUSLY??? Rather than basing it upon what I've achieved for the school in the past year, and possibly lure me to stay, it's been cancelled. Yet another straw for the struggling camel's back.

I passed my GTP tests and interview stage, and had a successful interview/ meeting at a potential school which is now no longer potential, so I'm really looking forward to handing in my notice, and getting started on my primary teacher training in September. I spent a little time looking around the school, and reading a story to a group of kids, and had a strong sense that it was definitely the right thing to do.

Looking forward immensely to moving out of this flat. It's been fine, but housemate increasingly slovenly and I've reached the end of my tether. There's nothing more depressing than a stinky kitchen cluttered with days-old dishes with crusty food inside them. 2 weeks and I'll be out.

August is set to be a very exciting month not only because of finishing my current job and getting ready to start my new challenge. Someone very close to me will be returning to the UK and starting a new job just up the road in Filton! I am absolutely over the moon and never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined things working out so perfectly. I just can't wait, the next two months had better fly by!!

So that's all my exciting news for now. Cornwall holiday was great, really relaxing although the weather wasn't up to much, I'm dying to get away somewhere hot, but it's not looking likely before October. Might take a few days in August to go somewhere.. I'll have to see.

Peace out, yo.
