i heart birthdays!

How superly fantastic to be made to feel so special and loved by so many people.
I had the most wonderful weekend which has stretched on and on - from a girl in my tutor group giving me cupcakes on friday to receiving a present from Amy in the post today (tuesday) and everything in between - going out on friday, shopping on saturday, seeing family & opening presents and cards all day on sunday, having a girly SATC night in on monday with wine and a beautiful new hand bag - and it's still not ending - Tim has got me tickets to the ballet in Nov, very exciting!

thank you to everyone for their kindness.

tonight I shall relax with a little help from my 'pamper hamper' ~ love you little sis

I wish everyone could feel as loved as me everyday

23 years of age

As I approach the grand old age of 23 I can't help but reflect and wonder; I hope that I'm achieving some worth while things - I think teaching should help me do this and maybe even realise my tentative dream of moving abroad...
I think my only resolutions surrounding my 'new' age this year are to do with my chosen profession - I am so desperate, not only to pass the teaching degree, but to be a positive, caring, helpful teacher - and I also would love to find a lovely primary school in Portsmouth!
also, of course, be a good friend, girl friend, sister and daughter...

New Friends!

What fun to make new friends, and let's hope they're friends for life! :)

I love Soph, Amy & Jen!
we went out last night and had lots of fun :) friendships are going to help me through the PGCE...

construct a charade

wow, I have been a busy bee, and what fun i've been having! i have just finsihed my third day at Goudhurst Primary, and it was another lovely day! GUSH GUSH GUSH! haha

the note making at the end of the day is a little more difficult,and i'm not looking forward to having to constantly write plans and evaluations and notes, but i'll get through it all!

still not convinced that i'm grown up enough to be a real teacher, so i'll have to pretend for the time being!

may be it'll all be differend in the older classes? i'm looking forward to moving upwards through te school and getting a feel for the older children :)

...went for a walk to blow the cobwebs away, it was just lovely to be in the fresh air..mum& sally scrumped some apples for us and we munched them as we walked! :)

listen loud

Sufjan Stevens - the latest sound i'm playing on repeat in my car :)

Especially: To Be Alone With You, and For The Widows in Paradise

...Turn it on and turn it up...

despondent

Nearly time to move out of Spindlewood again and start the next phase of my life...
I feel like there's lots to do, but I can't quite make myself get on with it all. What's wrong with me?! Will I ever be ready to grow up and get on with everything?! Sometimes all I want to do is sit in bed and read, or stare out of the window and watch the clouds go floating by~
