An update of sorts

So, I was lying in bed and couldn’t sleep and realized that I hadn’t updated my blog in a long time. So, some highlights:
- I had a really good birthday. I went out to lunch with my sister-in-law and the kids and then spent the rest of it writing a paper for the MA. Then, on Friday I had some friends over for drinks and fun. I have good friends. They gave me cool pressies. Lol. It was a fun night. I still can’t believe I’m 27. I think I’d like to be 20 again. That was a really good year for the most part. I just don’t want to get old. Someone should put me out of my misery before I get ancient.
- I’ve been sick for for-ev-er. Crazy. I’ve basically got pneumonia, and I’m on my third course of antibiotics. I’m signed off of work, and I have to go back to the doctor on Monday to see if I’m any better. I even had to have a chest X-ray. How crazy is that? I’ve never had one of those before. All I know is that I’m sick of spending money on going to the doctor.
- Oh, yeah, the stupid MA paper...I basically pulled an all-nighter to write it. I haven’t done that since uni. I’m interested to see if my grade is any better this time around. It can’t be any worse unless I don’t pass.
- I passed my teaching assessment, and I now have Jersey Qualified Teacher Status. I’m so glad that it’s over and done with! It was two years of hard work, and I’m happy now that all I have to get through is my NQT year. I’ve had a job interview, and I’m supposed to go back to teach a lesson on Tuesday afternoon to see if I get the job. I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I really need a job!
- I’m currently super obsessed with an Irish folk group called The High Kings. I can’t figure out if I’m more in love with Brian Dunphy or Darren Holden though. The group is amazing, and I really want to go see them in concert. I want to see them bad enough that I’m actually considering going to Dublin this summer just to see them. I know I won’t because I won’t be able to afford it, but it would be fun. They are just soooo good. They have wicked awesome harmonies and amazing energy. Who knew I’d become a fan of Irish folk music?
- USA played England in the World Cup and drew 1-1. Soooo cool. I really didn’t expect them to do that well. I hope they do well in the rest of the group games. I was embarrassed for Greece too. They got the crap kicked out of them. I’m looking forward to seeing Spain play and Italy. I love Buffon.
