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!!
