Happiness

Hi all!

Had a really good night last night. Jamie took me to a free fitness class right near his flat. First proper organised exercise I've done since just before I left! Was good to get out of breath and sweaty, but my legs hurt today! Think they had forgotten what lunges and squats were. 

Had a brilliant day today, I really do enjoy the school I'm at! I'm so happy there. So please I'm now there this week and two more :) Today was a bit of a mish mash day but that's the way I like it there anyway - I basically just go wherever they need me if someone is away or something needs to be done. 

This morning I started off testing some kids on reading to help benchmark them. Then I had to teach a class because Vicki was needed for a meeting, so I taught the puffins for a session. Then I did lots of spelling tests!! The kids here make me so happy, I went out in the yard and about 5 came running up and hugged me! I hope they have me back next school year a bit, I'll miss them!

Not too much else to report today. The landlord fixed our toilet seat which I contacted him about. You know you're growing up when that makes you excited! Tonight I'm meant to have a guy coming to view my room to rent over the summer but people have a bad habit of bailing on these so see how we go. Thinking Brendon and I will do dinner then a drink and dessert by regent's canal as tonight is his last at my place, he heads to his hostel and tour tmro. 

I really am happy this afternoon! I got so nervous coming up to this year away that I would sit in some awful flat with no friends, a job I hated and no money. I've met so many great people, my housemates and everything is going well and I feel I've really found my niche at school. Hope this feeling keeps up :)

Love to all

Claire
