"And if not now, when?": I'm Back

Okay, so I realize I have really been neglecting my blog, so here goes a bit of a catch up and summary of my week.

I had lots of work this week - 4 days! Woo! A lot of travel though. I don't mind traveling around London, as long as I know the night before so I can plan my route to get there on time, etc. I worked at a school (with amazing sport facilities) on Monday. It was a tough day though, one of the more challenging schools I've been to. I taught my first lesson of swimming! It was a good experience for sure. The rest of the week I spent traveling to South East London to an all-girls school. The Olympic Torch made an appearance at the school on Tuesday, the original torch that lit the flame for the 1948 London Olympics. It was a pretty cool thing to see.

I have made the decision to give up my lovely flat this month to basically become a gypsy! Hahaha - well not exactly, but since I have basically one week left of work (if I get any!), I need to be really smart about my finances. Paying for July and August rent, and potentially September, with no job, will not be realistic for me. I'm still not exactly sure what my long term plan will be, but short term, I have things figured out! Its unfortunate, as I love the area and my place so much. However, my working schedule has not gone as expected since moving myself to London, and I have to be realistic and smart.

I did however book my FREE trip to Ireland today! Very excited about that, and looking forward to it in 2 weeks time. It is a 3 day tour of Southern Ireland, starting and ending in Dublin. I'm sure it will be a great experience!

Just over 3 weeks until mom and dad arrive! Very excited for them to be here.

Working at the cycle shop this weekend - not up to too much other than that.

Here are some pictures from Canada Day last week (hard to believe its been an entire week!).
