Quick Catch Up

It has been a long while since I’ve been on here. In reading over my last post, I realize just how much I managed to fail. Did I ever establish routine? Not really. I’m re-attempting it once again at the start of a new placement. For the past week, I have definitely been better at it. I’ve been eating healthier, keeping my things tidy, and I’ve even been better at prioritizing my time!

Quick catch up: I have officially finished my first placement as a student teacher! Overall, it went really well. I was so happy in my school, and I learned a lot. I am one week into observations at my new school, and I hope I will get as comfortable as I was in my old one.

Other than that, the biggest thing that has happened is that I got a job! I will be working close to Leeds (where I lived two years ago) as a full-time English teacher. It is my absolute dream come true. I cannot believe this is actually happening. It happened nearly a month ago, and I'm still not entirely sure that I've processed.

What's New: I've realized that I can't do two posts a week. It's too much for me. For now, I will be posting on Saturdays and the monthly favourites on the last day of every month. I have also set up my social media in a different way. I used to have everything attached to my personal accounts, but as I move into my teaching career, those accounts have been placed on private. I have set up social media accounts specifically for the blog. The links are on the side, but you can also find my Instagram here, Facebook here, and Twitter here

Nothing else has really changed. I will be continuing with the usual business. I have a couple travel posts to set up as well as a couple books reviews. I also want to disperse some personal stuff on there (like my routines and time management issues). 

This has been a quick catch up here, but it needs to be done. I'll be busy with my new placement and writing up a bunch of blog posts for you (I have about six in mind at the moment).

How have you been? What's new?

 Is fall not the best reading season? I’m so glad I’ve had a few opportunities to sit on the front porch, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket with a hot drink and my book. Right now, it’s raining outside and all I want to do is cozy up and get back to my book. I’ve read some great non-fiction in the past six weeks. I’m learning so much about how people relate to the world around them. That is so important to me. Check them out! The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism – Naoki Higashida – 4 Stars         This is a very short book that I think everyone should read – particularly those who work with children. Although knowledge has come a long way, there is still so much more to be learned about autism. This book is a series of question that Naoki Higashida answers from his point of view. Interspersed is also a handful of short stories from Higashida’s point of view.         It’s an incredible book. It’s something that really allows readers to understand ho

James Bond and Indiana Jones are the best. I

Monthly Favourites- February 2016

I don’t know about you, but it feels like February has flown by! I can’t say it’s been a busy month; it’s more like a month of sinking back into routine. Last month, I was so ready to get back to school. It’s been great so far. I’m loving my classes, and I’m doing well with keeping on top of readings. I went to watch The Superbowl with friends (we didn’t make it to halftime), took control of my own body, and I’ve made myself a solid group of friends. I’m really happy. Here’s what got me through the month: 1.        NetGalley     I’m sure you can tell based on the sheer amount of book reviews I’ve been posting, but I have been reading quite a lot. This is all thanks to NetGalley. I have been a member of the site for over a year, but I never really got into it until now. At home, I have an extensive bookshelf, but I couldn’t bring that to the UK with me. I turned to NetGalley, and I have been rewarded. As a member, I request book titles and get a free e-book. In exchange, I have
