Ooo Heaven is a Place on Earth

Severe weather in the UK!  High winds and rain.  Very amusing....except when you have to walk to and fro in it.  I would really like a downpour with thunder and lightening.... that would be slick.  

We have 8 more days of school before Easter holiday!  Hard to believe how quickly things are flying by.  I feel like pumping the brakes sometimes, but then I realize that I'm not driving.  The kids are getting antsy, but more so - the teachers are getting antsy!  I can't wait for a two week holiday - it doesn't matter what I do (and I will be doing something) it just matters that I'm not constantly raising my voice to be heard and nagging students to complete assignments on time.  It will be lovely!

I did a bit of a read through my past posts - just to give myself a little reminder why I wanted to come here in the first place.  Yes, I am conquering the world.  And it's a constant battle - clearly my wording in "the quest for world domination" was correct.  I still feel as though I've made the right choice, and I know I will end up back in back home one day, but I'm happy now to be experiencing something different.  I've learned so much, and I'm grateful for that.

I need to re-read The Secret, just to remind myself how to get what I want.  It worked once, I'm confident it will work again.   To quote "Into the Woods":  If you know what you want then you go and you find it and you get it.

I have a feeling something new and exciting is brewing.  Can't put my finger on it...

"Could it be?  Yes it could.

Something's coming, something good, if I can wait!

Something's coming, I don't know what it is, but it is gonna be great!"

Maybe it's all of this work on West Side Story with my Year 8s.  Reliving that and watching my tape from high school - wow.  That's an experience and a half.... Hmm, something coming.

 Stay tuned.....
