+/-

+ the grade eight volleyball team i help coach won the zone championships last thursday.

+ i got an unreal reference letter from one of my sponsor teachers.

+ i have a job interview with maple leaf schools on april 17th-ish. that would mean committing to at least a year in china, but probably two. i was so so so gung-ho about this plan but now i have to give it a good think. these are exciting decisions though!

+ only 18 more teaching days left! this is actually a +/- because i'll be so glad to be done but i'll be sad to leave my school and my students. i've grown pretty attached.

+ i started playing the stock market (actually my dad plays it on my behalf) and i'm making money.

+ i went to edmonton and got to eat at chianti, see lots of my friends, visit my baba, and inspire jenna with my love of nailpolish and this one type of starbucks travel mug (alie knows about this mug, i think).

+ i took a risk with some facebook stalkery and it looks like it may have paid off.

+ i got into the explore program so i get to spend 5 weeks in nova scotia in may/june.

- i am meant to be running another half marathon in halifax but i have not trained even slightly and still haven't seen a physio yet about my knee. i feel like this will be a recurring pattern in my life. oh wait, it already is.

- marking. oh my gosh the marking. so much marking to do.
