Right, okay

Right so I have given up on modern medicine for now and I headed to the naturopath. Miss Vicki was my consultant and she spent over an hour chatting with me about all my symptoms, my diet, my body functions, everything! I am now on a bunch of pills and a liquid form of herbs, which I might add is the worst tasting thing I have every tried to drink. Actually it reminds me a lot of the anti-cold herb vile I use to take in Taiwan, but worse, much much worse.
However she does promise me it is all to up my immune system because I’ve had this cold/cough for almost 2 months my immune system is hugely weak. We shall see how well it works but at this point Im thinking....it has to work, it just has to!

Wish me luck swallowing it all down!

Camp life or just life

Was at camp this week with all the year 6's. There were 100 kids and 20 adults, both teachers and parents. It was a lot of fun but it totally wore me out. Im spending the weekend watching a stack of movies and chilling out on my couch. My flatmates have gone on a over night trip and I have the house to myself for the better part of 2 days. I feel like I need a lot of me time lately. I don’t know what it is really. Maybe it’s the impending doom of my beautiful little bubble bursting. Travels over, love lost, fantasy finished, time for the real world to creep in. I know I’m excited for whatever happens next all the new adventures of career, money, house, life but in the same breath I'm worried, scared and pretty much freaked out that it may not be as good as I’ve had it.
It’s silly to think like this I know, and Im so young and there’s so much more to happen, I’ve been given the speech a million times. But until you hear it in your own head it never really sinks in. I think it’s just the ending of something that is getting my heart racing and making me hold my breath, the beginning of something new is always exciting but closing off a piece of my life, letting it go and moving on that is a different story. It was really, really hard the last time I did it. Wounds I don’t think will ever heal are still here and now I am about to move onwards, another step. It feels a lot like a step backwards but yet it is still a step in my life. My life. Deep breath Sarah, good things will come.....one can hope.

Argh!

Travel agents -grr!
Trying to get my plane tickets together and Im hitting a few snags.
So Im at least heading to LA...
Ill be in North America now on May 4th, Then Ill be heading to Vancouver to hang with Sarah, Gus, Tory and Chris (the gang from Taiwan) After that fun adventure, which i cant wait for, Ill be taking a few days in Calgary to play with Erin and her baby. Then Ill be home around the last week of May.

Now all I need is a travel agent in Canada to book my ticket!
haha, not as easy as it sounds trust me.

Ill let you know how it all goes.

Thesis Part 1 - DONE!

Thank God, after weeks of working on it, the first part of my thesis is finished! Now I can move on to actually starting my research in the classroom and attempt to make my ideas actually work. Its only 3000 words but man it took a lot to get done, and it doesn't help much that I work full time hours during the week.
Next thing on my to do list is to actually apply for work for next September. Is there anything else anyone wants me to do for them, because I have a ton of free time right now (Grin)

Ink Blot Test

I did a ink blot test on line and this is what they said about me....Very scientific I know - grin -

"You have a deep desire to be kind and fair to others. You are preoccupied with finding kindness in the world around you, far more than you may realize on a conscious level. This makes you unusually empathetic and very sensitive to other people's feelings.

Your kind nature makes you an optimist at heart and allows you to see the best in the people around you. Because you're not judgmental, others seek you out when they need a friend.

Your psyche is very rich; the more you learn about it, the more you will understand who you really are."

Baby News

Janet is about 16 weeks along. Im so happy for them both, they're going to be amazing parents.

What the?!?

Okay no joke, they told me the other day that it was the last day of summer. And my god they were right! The temperature has dropped almost 10 degrees, its been raining and hailing and everything since then and I haven't seen a nice sunny day since the last day of summer. Feb 21 is my new hated day. And their summer weather wasn't even summer. I think the hottest day was 30 degrees and that only happened once. Now I have deal with cold and wet. So unfair!
