OK, so in typical-me-fashion, I have gotten things a little mixed around. I neglected to start out with a post that explains what it is that I'm trying to do here... oops :)
So, this blog documents my involvement with education from this point forward. Whether it's learning or teaching, I intend to make this my companion.
I have finally succumbed to my instincts to teach (and there have been many small forays into it!) and decided to become a high school teacher (English/History).
"What kind of idiot are you?', you ask.
I know what you're thinking, because those objections have been part of the reason why I've resisted going down this path before now. That and the fact that I was adamant that I wanted to arrive at teaching with a whole lot of experience that you don't have when you start a teaching degree straight out of high school. Not to criticise anyone who makes that choice, on the contrary, I admire people who have chosen that path! But it was just not right for me.
This is the first blog I've written, so I have no idea if anyone will ever read it, or find it in the least bit interesting. But amazingly, I actually don't care too much.
If nothing else, this blog can be something that I can look back at later on, to re-inspire myself or to acknowledge how far I have come (who knows?). If anyone else finds it interesting/helpful, then yay to that.

You've just read what should have been my first ever blog post :)
