I'm a Teacher Now (and other updates)

So the whole keeping up with this while being a trainee teacher did not happen.... it was hard man!

I have now completed the course and am a fully qualified science teacher with a job and everything! I honestly am as surprised as everyone else in my life seems to be that I actually did this and (shock, horror) enjoyed it!

So what now?

Well I'm currently on my summer holidays (hurrah!) which is why I have found the time to sit down and put my fingers back to the keys. I'll be starting my first teaching job in September which is both exciting and poop my pants terrifying. I know that at least for the next month I will definitely be able to keep updating this blog and fingers crossed be doing things that are worthy of sharing with you. This next year is going to be extremely hard work and although I would love to really get this blog off the ground I worry that spare time will be tricky to find. Having said that this could be the perfect excuse to unwind and relieve the inevitable stress that comes with teaching, I'm crossing every possible body part that I will find the time to write at least once a week. Send me your positive and motivational energy please.

What can you expect from me?

Honestly I have no idea! If you have read any of my past posts you will note that I've never had any resemblance of a theme which I think is probably why I've failed miserably to make this an actual blog with regular posts.
Over the past few weeks there have been some changes and I think this is probably what my blog is going to be all about.... life style posts and stuff that interests me. Sound okay?
I have begun my journey back into veganism after massively falling off the wagon.... multiple times. This time however I am so freaking motivated that it will stick... IT WILL.
I've started doing regular exercise... yeah me!
My plan is also to make this summer a spiritual one. I have been fascinated by wicca and nature religions for a long time and so will be delving deeper into that with this free time I seem to have found for myself.

It's been and hopefully will continue to be, a year of change and growth so that's what I want to focus on and share with you...... come join the adventure!

Going Back to School.

I never thought I'd want to be a teacher, then a friend suggested it to me and got me to go to her school for 2 weeks to experience what it was like.

I have gone back and forth on a lot of career options but none have stuck for any length of time, I couldn't imagine myself doing them every day of my life. All I knew was I wanted to do something in science.
I have a degree in Biology and have always loved science, I like most aspects of it and that's where the main issue arose. I didn't know how to choose one path, stick to it and stay happy with my choice. Then the aforementioned friend pointed out to me that if I taught it I would have to learn and get involved in all areas of science!

Problem solved.

So I went and bought myself a whole heap of new smart clothes [apparently harem pants and crop tops aren't entirely appropriate....] set up two weeks in the school and became "Miss"!

I've been in a real life rut recently [hence no posts for over 2 months ... soz!] and although I was unsure of how this would turn out I really wanted it to go well so that I might finally have direction in my life. Aaaaaand I loved it! The kids were great, the staff were so friendly and the whole atmosphere was amazing.

So what's the next step? Well I've applied for a PGCE in secondary school science (with Biology), have sent off references and once they're done will wait to hear if any of the universities I've applied to will take me on! Oh and obviously the best bit about this whole plan? NEW STATIONARY PEOPLE!

Fingers crossed that it works out..... and that I don't actually absolutely hate it!
