After yesterday's post, I had to follow up. I heard from many of you with words of encouragement and love. I appreciate it. I really really do. And now, I must eat my words. Today, I got the call I have been waiting for for months. The call I've been hoping for since September 2008, when I started this crazy journey. My interview is next Tuesday. And I can hardly believe it.
No more excuses.

Long Time No Blog
It has been 14 months since I posted here. If that's not neglect, I don't know what is. The last year has been unreal. I barely survived teacher's college with all my faculties in tact. I can't go back and give you details of one of the toughest years of my life. The only thing I can say is -- I did it!

Here are some pics of the friends I made in school:

It was a huge adjustment for my family and I think we are still recovering.
Right now, it feels like we're just in a constant limbo. The Hamilton Wentworth District School Board is a tough egg to crack. I've been volunteering several days a week for the last 5 months (May June Sept Oct Nov) trying to break in. Each one of my school peers has found their way in the door somehow while I seem to be the last one left knocking. It's been tough. Each of them is talented, passionate and creative. But so am I!!!
I don't know why, but I feel like this is just the door that has to open for me so that I can get myself in order again. Living with the unknown hovering over my head is really a difficult position for me to be in. I'm used to being able to control what comes next for me. But this one is out of my hands. I am finding it paralyzing. I find myself bargaining with God, bargaining with myself....and that's not my style. I know some of you are thinking, SUCK IT UP and stop your whining. Believe me, I've said it to myself. I am just hoping tomorrow is my day. Please let it be tomorrow. Or at least the day after.
