Heading Back to School

This year has been SO strange.  Most of the spring I just waited for work to come my way - subbing was slow, Jolica parties were not happening - and I felt like I had no direction at all.  Literally overnight, everything changed.  At the end of April I started tutoring at Sylvan in Winnipeg, which I really enjoyed.  And then 3 weeks after that job started, I got the manager position at Ten Thousand Villages.  My life went from boring to crazy in such a short time span.

I was only at Ten Thousand Villages for a month and a half because of the fact that I also sold Jolica (both Fair Trade companies).  I had run my butt off, driving to Winkler for Villages and then to Winnipeg for Sylvan (sometimes both in one day), and, at times, I wasn't sure which way was up because of the busyness.  A term position then opened up at Genesis House, the woman's shelter where I was a casual worker, and so I signed up for 4 months of nights (midnight to 8 a.m.).  Seriously, looking back at it all right now, I can't believe what I all signed up for this year!

Originally the nights term was to end on November 11, but then I got word that it would end 3 weeks sooner.  Since I didn't have anything else lined up once the term was finished, I got my paperwork together to substitute in Winkler.  And in the mean time, a science position opened up at the high school that I used to teach at 6 years ago and today I found out that I got the term!  It's only from mid-October until the end of January, but I'll take it!  So, I'm heading back to school!!
