| My biggest adventure so far... |
April was the Oklahoma Teacher Walkout which was a BIG deal here. I did not go to the capitol because that many people in that small of a space was more than I could handle and someone had to actually be at school because we only closed for one day, so I stayed with the kiddies plus I had something up my sleeve for my personal days.
Prior to the first full weekend in April I went REALLY dark with the hair...dark like my soul at the time. Okay, not really, but it was a pretty chestnut brown and to be honest, I loved it. (Bonus photo at the end because I really loved it...)
We had State for speech and debate (they won) and I did one of the craziest things to date: I took all three of my personal days, pushed them up against a weekend, and went to London!
I figured if NYC wasn't going to heal my hurt then a visit across the pond might. Now, this isn't really as random as it sounds and I don't really jump on an airplane any time I'm having a bad day (just sometimes). Fifteen months prior to this particular weekend I had been in NYC with my best friend to see Hamilton for the second time. Well I had gotten a presale code for Hamilton West End tickets, and they were cheap, so I ordered them. Though I could have gotten my money back the truth was I really wanted to go, so I did.
I was only actually in London for two days (not even close to enough time) because I flew to NYC went to the opening of the revivals of one of my favorite plays (Children of a Lesser God...with none other than Joshua Jackson aka Pacey starring) then spent Thursday just flying basically.
When I got to London I saw a very little of a whole lot of things and declared I would return as soon as possible...that was until my flight home got canceled. I got something rebooked, but due to the time difference no one at home knew any of this was happening. When I rebooked I had to have a layover, so I figured if this was going to happen I should pick somewhere fun, so I was off to Shannon, Ireland! Prior to this I didn't know Shannon, Ireland was a place and I was only in the country about an hour and a half and it was all spent in the airport, but it was a lovely little adventure that I had that not a soul knew about. For a few hours I was somewhere that NO ONE on earth who knew me personally knew where I was. It was EXHILARATING.
I saw Hamilton too and made a new friend which is always fun.
So that healed me up quite nicely. I also found out after I got home that I had passed all three of the teaching tests I had taken in March (one by the skin of my teeth, but pass is pass!)
I wasn't quite in the perfect place, but I was definitely on the road to normal and that brought us to...
May (or, flooding, firsts, flights, and feelings)
