I'm going...

I have, a couple of weeks ago, finally booked a ticket, to...... The Netherlands.
Two months from now I will be flying to Holland where I will spend three weeks with family and friends. I am really looking forward to this time and really would love to count down the days. However, I have decided not to do so, for now anyways. Why?

We still have several weeks of school left. If I were counting down the days until I go to Holland, I would also be counting down the days until I have no more full time job like I do now. Not sure if that makes sense, but since I am working as EA only this school year this will be the only year that I have a full time job for a couple of years. Because there are only 'few' weeks left I have decided to enjoy all these weeks. Not counting down to something that will happen just days after the last day of school. First I shall work until the year is over. Do my best, work with the students and give them what they need. Then when the end of the school year gets much closer, as in weeks, I'll maybe starting counting down the days till my travels east... Not because I'm not excited to go to Holland, but because I need to focus on my work.

Another place I'll be traveling to this summer is Ontario. I will be going there towards the end of the summer holidays (probably late August). I will be staying there for months, not just weeks. Months in which I will continue my education, learn new things, meet new people, go on 'an adventure'. Life changing I'm sure.. 

However, first I am going to be enjoying Spring. Yes Spring entered on the calendar over a month ago, but only recently have we in Alberta started seeing signs of Spring. Snow melted, grass appeared, water flows at rapid speed through the ditches, the sun shines brighter, warmer and the days are getting longer and longer. I'm loving this weather, and can feel the sun is giving me more energy. Or is it the longer days? Or the warmer temperatures? Or everything together? Not sure what it is, but I do know that I'd take this weather over below -10C anyday!
