Welcome to my first ever newly-created blog! Its purpose is to keep all my family and friends updated on my many adventures this summer as I'll be exploring various corners of my country - the spacious, majestically beautiful land of Canada.
Here's what the summer holds for me, or, at least, what I think it holds for me...
April 28: I walk across the stage in a baggy, zip-up gown, a hood that I couldn't figure out how to wear, and a hat that is a combination of a bathing cap and a flat piece of carboard. And I will officially be graduated from Trinity Western University with a Bachelor of Arts.
April 29 - May 10: Will be spending two weeks on an Aboriginal reserve in the Chilcoutin (just west of William's Lake) where I will be doing a practicum in their school.
May 11: Get back to Vancouver just in time for Kathryn's wedding.
May 12 - June 16: Flying to Quebec - specifically Chicoutimi - to learn french for five weeks through a government sponsored program called Explore. Will be staying with a host family and attending french classes at a university. Probably won't be talking much for the first few weeks as I'm not aloud to speak english and I know almost next to no french!
June 17 - August 26: ???????????? This is the part that is yet to be determined. Maybe work in Quebec? Maybe work in Vancouver? One thing I know is that I am planning on spending some time with my German "parents" - Uli and Inge - who are coming to Vancouver in August.
August 27: I begin my Professional Year Program (PYP) at Trinity - i. e. my teacher certification year. Doing my practicum in a grade one classroom with amazing, adorable kids.
So, that's the plan. I'll try to keep you all updated on my adventures, challenges, and lessons so check back often!

Congratulations - you will be a fine school teacher. Just remember to take a break from teaching children every once and a while to find out what they are learning.
