So why haven't I blogged in a while?

1. I started a new job. For the last three years I've at an amazing bookstore and while it was a great learning experience it wasn't a teaching position. I spent more time working with teachers than kids. So now I'm working for a foundation that provides after school programs in at-risk communities in Toronto's East & West Ends. My job is help with academic support (tutoring), lead discussion groups, run a graphic novel book club, and teach a babysitting course. Yes, along with first aid and recreation training, I was certified as babysitting instructor. I'm three weeks in (discounting two weeks training)

2. I spent most of the summer trying to start a podcast. Unfortunately, I didn't get as far as I would have liked. I'm not giving up on the project but I think I need time to adjust. I put a lot of effort into it and I just need more time...

3. ... but time isn't something I'll have a lot of. My new job is part-time but I'm also taking an online Additional Qualification for my teaching certificate. It's a Special Education (Secondary Focus) course. Along with my previous and currrent employment I'm hoping it'll lead to a full-time teaching position.

4. And no, I haven't forgotten about my computer course. After I finish the online course, in the new year I'm going to focus on it. Get my certification and go forward with that.

So, I don't know how much blogging I'll be doing in the near future.
