Well, it's been a while since I posted, and there's been a lot going on. I guess I just didn't know where to begin, I still don't know exactly how to describe how I've been feeling. I guess start from the top...
My last post told anyone reading it I finally got a letter from teachers college, and I was accepted! It's such an amazing feeling, but so hard to describe. Happiness, elation, satisfaction, joy, disbelief. I've been working so hard towards this goal, for so long, it's hard to belive I'm actually achieving it. I've been on cloud nine, the first week after I found out absolutely nothing could bring me down, not even having to write my last essay. That made it extremely difficult; it was almost impossible to focus on my last shakespeare essay when I had this fabulous news that I was going to teachers college. It was like a glow, and I floated around in it. Just the thought of where I'm going this fall is enough to make me smile. I'll be sitting on the bus or the train, or just walking along, when I remember that I'm going to teachers college and it's enough to bring a smile to my face. Just thinking about where I'm going and what I'll be doing pastes a grin on my face that won't go away, and I end up grinning like a fool in public thinking about it. But I don't care, I'm so happy that sometimes it just takes over, it's such a relief, and a joy, and just the thought of it lights up my soul. It's impossible to describe exactly how I'm feeling, unless you've gone through it/ are going through, I don't think I could communicate it exactly. But needless to say, it's been a fan-fucking-tabulous couple of weeks. Although I am starting to come down a little off my cloud nine, I still carry that joyful little thought with me everywhere I go, even typing it now makes me smile. I waited so long to hear, I think it's almost like a backlash of relief or something, and it's hard to focus or care about exams when I know I've already been accepted. I know I have to, but it's really hard when I know I'm already going to teachers college. It just made my day, my week, my month. It wa also very exciting being able to tell people that I was accepted, and everyone was really excited and suuportive of me. When I told the principal at the school whre I volunteer, who was one of my references, he was so happy for me, so was the teacher I work with. And while I was there that afternoon he came into my class with a cupcake with a candle, and a mug with some school logo paraphnalia in it for me, and told all my kids there that I had been accepted into "teacher school" and made a really nice little speech. It made me feel so good, and happy, and I blushed beet red....even though I am a drama student :P It was just so nice to have that. And all my friends and family and everyone have just been so supportive to me I am so grateful. I've been feeling awesome just about getting to go to teachers college and everyones support has made it even better, if that's possible.
Now that I've rambled about teachers college forever....sorry....but it's some of the most exciting news I've had and the best I've felt in a long time...other things have been going on too. The same week I heard from teachers college, I also heard I got a job interview end of april to work in a specialty day camp! I applied to work for the town as a councelor for either drama camp, creative arts camp, or kinder camp. So I have a really unique kind of interview coming up where I have to lead a group in activities that I plan....of course you know mine is going to be drama related. So that's good. I have also applied to another drama day camp and they seem interested, although I will have to wait to hear from them. So my job options for this summer are looking good. I would love it if I could help run drama camps, I think that would be just about the perfect summer job for me....kids+drama!
What else...I was very excited and super busy this past weekend because my cousins from tennessee came up to visit for the long Easter weekend. They arrived thursday night and just left this morning. I was so happy to see them, they rock! Although we don't get to see them as often as I'd like, they do live in the southern states after all, we are close. They're fun and crazy and I love being with them. Which brings me to more exciting news. I might be going down to Tennessee to visit them for a month this summer! That'll be super exciting if it happens. The drama camp job would actually work out really well with that plan, because it is not for all summer. So I could earn the money to go down there, and still have the time to get there. I love spending time with my cuz's so it would rock if this idea pans out. It would also mean I would get to meet my new second cousin. My cousin just had her baby in the fall,a nd none of us up here in Canada have seen the baby real life yet, only pictures. So that would be another bonus. It would just be good times in general if I got to stay in Tennessee with my coolio cousins, I will see what I can do to try and manage it. Even if I couldn't manage a whole month, I'd love to be able to visit for just a couple weekes even. So good. So yes, my cousins Aimee and Dawnie were here all weekend, we had lots of fun times, Easter dinner, shopping, eating, hugging, loads and LOADS of massaging (I have the magic fingers...my cousin is married to a chiropractor and she and he run a business and she says I'm better than the massage therapist:) )
This morning I wrote my first exam, Shakespeare, at 9 am. It was early and shakespeare....what else can I say about it. AND I was late because my dad was driving my cousins to the airport after he dropped me at school, and they made me a little late to my exam...but I forgive them...cuz they're not here very often :P Now only 4 more exams to go *sigh* but even that I can get through, I have so many positive things going on in my life right now that they balance the evilness of exams, even early morning exams. I think that's about it, all I can think of right now anyways. Overall, I have been having Very Good Times lately. Life is good.
