Manitoba here I come!!

WOW!!
Another three months has come and gone. Where the frig did time go?
I'm not even close to being ready to leave yet. I'm just getting settled here in Newfoundland, and now I gotta go. That sucks!! BIG TIME!!!

So today(March20th) Was my last day at work:(:( For those of you just tunning in I worked at Morris Academy, an elementary school, but you can read about it in another post, cause I don't wanna explain it today.

Anyways so it was my last day today, and it was seriously one of the hardest times I've had in Katimavik. It was so hard leaving there today, the teachers, and the students. I mean I loved my job last trimester in Hamilton, and loved the people but I deffinately didn't have this hard of a time leaving, but I think it may just be the friendliness of the people here that is making it so hard to leave.
So the teachers had some goodies in the staff room today at lunch, and then we were given a gift from all the staff and students, It was soo nice, and gift card to chapters, and a wicked pen holder. It's wooden with the Morris Academy crest thinger on it!! IT's sooooo nice I love it!!
Then there was the rest of the day that I had to go through saying good-bye to the teachers, one thing I was pretty much avoiding because I knew I was going to cry...
then came the time when the grade two's came down to the library, and gave us some cards. I read one comment that said "thanks for everything you did, I am going to miss you miss tree. I love you" and then came the water works!!! something I was dredding, luckily I had to leave in like two minutes to do something else, so I was safe from crying infront of the kids. Then the end of the day came and it was time for me to say good-bye to the teachers. I started with my grade 2 teachers, the ones I worked with the most..First Mrs Kelly, the emotions started to come, then Mrs Murphy and the emotions got even worse and then came Mrs Collins class, and then they started. got two pictures with them and like pretty much balled!!! I was so overwhelmed that the three teachers I worked with the most, were not going to be my work partners anymore....once I said good-bye I had to leave and go say good-bye to more. I made my rounds, and then the last to see was Mrs Dowding.....
Good'ol Mrs Dowding, the one I was dredding saying good-bye to the least.....She was the teacher I worked with the most, and became the closest with. I have to say she was the hardest person to say good-bye to...Well I searched high and low for her and then finally found her when she said, "oh I was looking for you" when I replied "funny cause I was looking for you too" so I went into the staff room after her, and then she gave me the present. I literally like ran away because I did not want the emotions to come, well never fails she followed me. I Hugged her, and had like an audience so I said "lets turn so they can't see me crying!!" so we hugged, and you know all that stuff, and then came the time to open the present. Well I opened the card, and you guessed, some tears just came flowing down. But I have to say I did good for keeping my cool. I wasn't a complete and utter mess(not until I got home haha) and then opened the rest. Chocolate, a pin and pencil and the best of all, a mug...your probably saying sure it's just a mug, well this wasn't any ordinary mug it was a mug with all the Newfie sayings on it, and holy stink it was FUNNY!!! I have never seen anything like that before, and will always keep it with me, for as long as I live, or I guess as long as it lasts!!

So all in all, I love Morris Academy and am honestly going to miss it.

But don't worry I will be back one day and will find the school, and go visit everyone, to see whose still there:)

Peace out homies!!
I will update again once I am in Manitoba... if thats possible, since I don't think we have internet...dang,
if we don't then I guess I'm doing the good old snail mail:)

Tree:)

Yep, I still exist!!!

HHAHAHAAH Sorry folks!!
Haven't written in this for a long time!! infact almost 4 months! WOW how time has flown by!!
So heres an update
I am now almost finished my second rotation here in Mount Pearl Newfoundland!

but hey lets back track a long ways!!
Maybe to December?

Sure!!December it is!!
December was a crazy hectic month, with Christmas and all, and finished up work, I have to say that was the month I did not enjoy in Katimavik!!!
January was also pretty hectic, we moved rotations on January 5th, and 5 of us got stranded in Halifax while the other 6 made it to Mount Pearl. So the 5 of us stranded in Halifax got a hotel and had the times of our lifes, man I loved that one day of living in luxury! Sleeping in an amazing bed, having a nice hot shower, and eating good food. All on the katimavik budget. ahah thats the life.
When we finally arrived here in Mount Pearl on January 8th, we were made to go to work site tours. In our miserable tired dirty looking state, and then the next day have interviews. It was HORRIBLE!!!
So after the interviews, of making up stuff seeing as I only saw two work placements, we were told where each one of us was going to work. and low and behold my miserable state was turned into shear happiness. I was placed at the one and only placement I wanted, Morris Academy, an elementary school, which is FANTASTIC. So at my job I am just a teachers assistant, and I love it.
So throughout the 2.5 months that we are here, we have developed as a group with having like no time off. We have gone through trials with our PL who was super insociable and the best times with her too!!

Now that Mount Pearl is coming to an end, I am super sad. I am here in Newfoundland for only 2 weeks longer, and it feels like I should be here for like a month longer. It's crazy.
In two weeks I will be at another rotation camp, and on another plane(or maybe two) off to St Pierre Jolys Manitoba, where I will spend 3 months fighting to keep up with the culture...FRENCH speaking culture might I add!! it's my french rotation and man I'm nervous. I'm not too good at french, and just know that I am going to make a fool of myself, of well who cares, not like I'll likely go back, and hey I'm in Katimavik so who cares if I make a fool of myself right?
so after spending three months in Manitoba I will be once again packing my bags(June 17th to be exact) to fly back home to the wonderful town of Ingersoll, to see my friends and family, whom I love and miss lots!!

Hopefully this was a good enough update for those of you who regularily look at this.
Sorry that I have been a horrible travelling tree...theres just no time to stop and write about my life anymore.
But don't worry I'll try harder now, and maybe update once a month, rather then once every four months:)

Love you all!!
