Back to school...!!! :):):)

Today was such an awesome day! Well, I was feeling depressed and schoolsick for the past few days... but today that changed...
This morning my friend Tanya came over to my house and then after lunch we went for a walk down to the centre of the Hutt. On the way we passed Sacred Heart College. Today I really wanted to go in and say "Hi". I felt terrible that I didn't last time. It was yr9 orientation day so it was all full of activity. When we got to the school around the side by E24 we saw everyone going into the hall for a briefing or something like that. So we decided to go to Queensgate and see Christina who was working at Muffin Break, and come back later. As it turned out by the time we got to Muffin Break Christina's shift was over and then we texted her she replied that she's at home!!

We then left Queensgate (after stayiong there only a very short time of about 20mins) and went back to school. It was 4pm and the yr9's were showing their parents around the school. After standing around by the side gate for a bit we went in to school. I was showing Tanya the classrooms E24 and E25 (it felt sooo great to be back!!! E24 and 25 are my favourite classrooms!!) and then just as we were walking past the deans office Mrs Burrell came out!!! Yeaaaaaaa!!! Haven't talked to her for over a year!! (soppy scene #1) We talked (no longer feel guilty about not going in to see her last time. I told her I was feeling schoolsick. I also said I had a year of my BSc to go and then a year of honours-hopefully, and then teaching! :)) and then me and Tanya continued making our way around the school (while Mrs Burrell had to go and help prepare for the yr9 concert). I showed Tanya all around Euphrasie building with all the science labs and maths classrooms. On the way I met Mrs Wootton my RE teacher (soppy scene #2) so we chatted for a bit too. Then I showed Tanya the library and I got to see Mrs Lawson the librarian!!! (soppy scene #3) Haven't talked to her since the end of 7th form! So we spent about half an hour in the library chatting! I told her my ambition is to come back to SHC and teach for ever and ever and ever... and rule the school! Hehehehe!!! Then I showed Tanya around the library (oh it was sooo nice to be back!!) and explained where everything was...aaahh I felt like I never left!

Then we went to the gym and around by the P block (with me giving her a detailed explanation about every classroom's significance) and then we went to Mission House. We stood around on the bottom floor looking at photos on the notice board when I noticed a familiar handbag at the bottom of the stairs. There was no mistaking it. Moments later Mrs Bartlett came down. Soppy scene #4 followed. So great to see her again and I finally got a chance to tell her that I'm taking some english papers at University so I could have english as another teaching subject! She was really happy about that! We talked a bit about teaching and then I had a chance to ask her about Kelly (the student I tutored) and Mrs Bartlett said she only passed one of her english papers. Sigh. I learnt that there is only so much a teacher can do. When Mrs Bartlett found out I tutored, she said that she would happily find me plenty of students for english and science subjects and then call me!!! Yeaaa!!! That would be absolutely wonderful!!! After saying bye to Mrs Bartlett I continued showing Tanya the classrooms up in Mission house.

Then I showed Tanya the rest of the classrooms, we went down to the carpark where we met walking towards us Ms Buist and Ms Prendergast! That was unexpected! Soppy scene #5 followed. After that Tanya and I went and sat on mine and Anita's traditional favourite seat, opposite the carpark. By this time it was already way past 5pm (I was soo late to Mum's dance classes... but hey, that's the advantage of having your Mum being the teacher) so we just sat there talking for a while, before heading to Mum's dance studio. When we arrived they were just finishing the lesson. Mum forgave me for not turning up after I told her what I've been doing. We took Tanya home and then went home ourselves.

In conclusion of this eventful day I feel soo happy right now!!!! So incredibly happy!!! :):):)
