Countdown

2 weeks tomorrow!

I finished at my current job just over a week ago. It was sad, and felt very scary to be leaving the place I knew and felt like I was close to knowing what I was doing (well sometimes anyway). People were lovely though, I had lovely cards and presents, and a fab assembly where the children sang 'Kids in America' and 'Star Spangled Banner' for me. It was all lovely and touching.

I had a fab 'leaving do' / night out with my friends, tapas, cocktails and dancing like loons all night. The photos show that I was a sweaty, drunken mess but I don't care, I felt brilliant and had a ball.

I went on a course at Greenwich University related to the new job. I met some people who are going out to the new school with me, and some who already work there. I got answers to some of my niggly questions and feel better that there will be a few familiar faces when I get there.

After the course I went to spend some time with my sister and nieces. We went to Battle of the Proms at Highclere Castle on Saturday, with my mum, other sister, and friend Jo. Lots of pimms drinking, flag waving and Land of Hope and Glory singing, a very English goodbye!

Home now, and have to start the process of packing up. 15 more sleeps!
