It's turning into a wild ride, but...
Jan. 10th, 2007 05:32 pm... so far I've gotten on track for the new term of classes, sorted out and finally went on the massive year 7 field trip to London that I've been planning since November, and found a new place to soon call home. All of this has had its ups and downs, but, end result, things are getting sorted.
The new place will be a nice and cheap, if smallish studio apartment. It's well laid out and has relatively new fittings for the kitchen and bathroom. I also like the colours. It's going to cost me a lot more than I'm used to live there, but it'll be MY space (read as "free of psycho flatmates"). Plus, I've been wanting to try living on my own for quite some time, so why not now? Besides, if all goes according to plan, I'll be earning more money next year after my QTS is sorted.
As for the field trip, it was great! We had an action packed day of touring the National Maritime Museum, taking a river cruise from Greenwich to London, and then touring the London Aquarium. We even managed to dodge predicted traffic on the way home to arrive just in time for dismissal from school (as opposed to the predicted half an hour later)! Not only was the trip a success (especially given it was the first field trip I have ever planned), but it also plugs up the most difficult to fill gap in my teaching experience needed for QTS. It's a double win for me!
To wrap the day off, I've come home early (as little prep was needed for tomorrow) to watch a couple episodes of Lost before crashing for the evening.
