Hunting bears?

Hello friends!!!

I must say that 1) I am super bad about updating my blog as I don't know who actually reads it and 2) this update comes with an alternative motive: I want to win a handmade dress made from vintage fabric from this awesome Aussie lady that my roomie Lyndz introduced me to: http://naughtyshorts.blogspot.com.au/

Not only are the sundresses fun and beautiful, but modest as well, which is something that is rare these days! Don't you think that would just make the perfect graduation dress?


Wait - graduation!? Didn't you already graduate? Is that what you are thinking? You are correct. I finished my Bachelor's a year+ ago but now I am working on my Graduate Diploma in Secondary Education and I am loving every minute of it. I have been blessed with a wonderful group of friends, students, and a mentor teacher who is there when I need her and 'disappears' sometimes to let me work things out for myself when it comes to classroom management. I am learning to use my 'teacher face' and my tone of voice to show those year 7s whose boss. Oh, and the year 8s who believe that Indigenous people hunted bears in Australia. Yes, you read correct - bears. Didn't know there were bears here? Me neither. I guess they hunted all the drop bears away and that's why you never see them until you're out in the bush camping. Don't know what a drop bear is? YouTube it! You won't regret it.

So, yes, in 10 weeks time, I will be DONE. As in finished. As in no more school for...ever!? 4 weeks of prac (student teaching) to go, lots of job applications to be filled in, and an Aussie summer and Christmas to look forward to.

And who knows, maybe I'll have a made-for-me summer dress to wear every week!

Now - it's bed time. Prac is lots of fun, but exhausting. It's hard work being in the spotlight all the time. I can't wait for my own classroom!

P.S. My recent trip to the US was a much needed refresher to see my brother, sister-in-law, mom and best friend, Samantha.

And the Man Upstairs (aka God) has been holding me in His arms since I've returned with support coming from everyone for prac, food, work, friends, etc. I can't wait to see where He puts me next year!

Auntie K, if you're reading this, life is good!

OK, now really, it's snooze time.
