Summer Break

It's kind of a strange situation, the first summer of my life where September doesn't mean going back to school. I graduated with my Bachelor of Education this summer, which means after 5 years of university, I'm finally qualified to teach! Too bad the job market for teachers is ... well, less than desirable. If only I spoke French... but since I don't, I'm resigned to spend this year in limbo. Maybe I'll get a long-term supply position, but most likely I'll spend the year volunteering, taking Additional Qualification courses (I already completed my Special Education), and applying like crazy to other, non-teaching jobs.

I wanted to start this as a way to keep my sanity as I make my way through the year. Right now, I work one day a week in a retail store, but I'm looking to find something more full time. I want to help my awesome boyfriend with our household expenses... not to mention the retail therapy I love so much!
