~Raison d'etre~

 *relaxes* After 7 weeks, my first half term as a full-time-permanent teacher is over - and I love it! <3

I wish I had a little more time to write here and keep in tough with people though >_< At least I have the holidays though! <3 

So, in a sentence - how are you? :)
 

Hello LJ, I haven't forgotten about you! <3

Summer is over, and I've got the first day of term with me new year 5 class tomorrow - I'm feeling excited but really nervous! :S

On Thursday, I had an interview for a job at the school I've been working - there were 5 candidates, so I was pretty nervous, but I got the job!!~

I've so incredebly happy - its the first permanent job I've ever had, and it means I no longer have to worry about money. I can also start planning our wedding, and go back to Japan this Summer ^_^

Things are finally going well :3

 I just got back after doing some prep at my new school before starting tomorrow - I'm really looking forward to working there ^-^ Its a shame that whenever I find a nice school, I get a temporary job ^^;

That's life I guess - but it won't stop me enjoying it ^-^

New Year is that time of year when you start thinking about way to change to improve your life - this is the first year in a while that I haven't written a proper set of resolutions. I may have been worried a lot about money recently, and (of course) losing a few pounds would be nice, and I could go on about how, at the moment, I've lost my love of conventions - but I've got so many things going right in my life now that I don't want to dwell on the bad. I have the most wonderful fiance, some lovely friends and I now have a steady income - I'm really very lucky to have those :)

 On Thursdays I start my new job - it's only part time, and at the moment, only until May, but I'm looking forward to starting ^-^ After the irregular work of the last 4 or so months, having enough coming in every month to pay for my share of the food and bills is good :D

I'm feeling a bit nervous - but have decided to over-prepare for this week's lessons! XD

Things are finally getting better :)
