January News

Well January is here and gone and I can't believe how quickly it went! I got back into the groove of teaching and had my evaluations completed. Things went pretty good as far as I can tell so that's a relief.
I figured being Januray that I should call and check my current balances on my loans and well, let me tell you, Interest is going to be the Death of me! I realized after a few quick calls that I'm paying out about $9 (give or take) every DAY!! With that, I realized I should probably do something about it. So... I took a walk over the hill to Boston Pizza and was hired to start the next evening. I work taking the deilvery orders. Answering the phone, packing up the food, and basically re-stocking shelves when they're low. Nothing serious, pretty much a no-brainer. They had neglected to see that I'm a FULL TIME TEACHER, and have thus scheduled me to work both Friday and Saturday nights for the past two weekends. This isn't flying well with me, but, being an additional job, I really don't need to stay. I will have to talk to the manager regarding this, becasue my school job comes first, then my life. So.. that is that!

Other than that, I haven't been up to too much. Janelle, Jan and I started playing volleyball on Thursday nights through the YMCA. It's really fun. We're pretty much the youngest people there by years and years, but it's all good! Some excercise and fun to get out once a week.

I guess that's the updates for now, I hope that February is more interesting!

Bye for now,

Princess is Back

So I finally got my car back! The princess is looking good and I'm so glad to have her back. She had been in the shop having a deer pulled out of the side of her. Back in November I was heading down to visit Clint at work and a deer bolted out of a cow pasture and slammed into the side of me. Fantastic I know. But she has been repaired and is now back in my custody :)

We were out this morning with Julie on the hunt for the Wedding Dress and there was Success!! She found a beautiful gown and is going to look just fabulous when she gets married this summer! This is going to be a busy summer for weddings indeed! It looks like I will be back in Nova Scotia for most of the summer. I'll do my best to get to them all but we will just have to see.

That's about it for now. It's snowing again so I'm off to make a cup of tea!

Back to School

Well I didn't think I was ready to go, but the time has come to go back to school. Teaching that is. After enjoying such a relaxing break it took a lot of energy to get me interested in the thought of heading back to the music room. Monday, January 8th came, and after getting back into the building I realized that maybe I was going to be okay.
The other part about going back this time is that I have to have my evaluations completed by the end of the month. So, the principal needs to come and supervise me teaching three times in the next month. I hope it's quick and painless.
In other news, I've gotten into this Facebook website business. It's actually quite addictive as I had been told. I have gotten in touch with a number of people whom I haven't seen in ages including two girls who left my elementary school in grade 6 and moved back to their homes in North Carolina and Japan! It's rather crazy!
Over the weekend we got together at Sarah & Mark's place and played some board games with some drinks. It was good times!
I guess that's about all that's new and exciting for me right now. Peace out!

2007

Well it's a new year and I thought I would try something new, so here I am.

Starting 2007 in Calgary has been good so far. We had some visitors for New Year's Eve and we ended up with a group of 10 -- 9 Capers of course. We hit up 17th ave for some drinks and dancing and all eventually crawled back home.

I made a trip to Edmonton to visit my brother and his fiance and her family. It was short but great to see them.

What else... Well I'm getting ready to go back to school which is fine, but I'm really enjoying my break. Not looking forward to having to get up early and such, but thats life. I guess I'll try to keep this updated so you all can know what I'm up to. Take care for now,

Jessica
