Your dream is not big enough if it does not scare you.

Today marks one one since my arrival in London. It's been an eventful month, but I'm still having the time of my life. I feel like Carrie Bradshaw, sitting in a coffee shop writing about Love. My Love of Life that is!

Went out in Clapham High Street on Saturday last, a bit of a girls night which was well deserved. Everyone was quite hospitable. It's funny how it doesn't matter where you are in the world, the 3am kebab is the greatest thing since sliced bread!

I've been struggling with the cold today. Transport has been a little hit and miss, especially with the snow, it's taken extra precious sleep in minutes to get anywhere. Today was made special with massive delays on the tube, so much so, that I couldn't even enter the station. So I boarded a bus. and a train, and another bus to ensure that I arrived at the school one hour and 40 minutes later than I would have liked to...

The snow was falling so gently this morning, and I couldn't wipe the smile off my face as it's droplets landed on my eyelashes. Immediately I started singing Julie Andrews's "My Favourite Things". Seemed fitting. Had the luxury of talking to some of my special friends this week on Viber! What an amazing app! Everyone should have it! Thanks Hayley and Lisa for the chats, helping me to enjoy the commutes to work.

It's so strange, for the last two weeks I've been dressing like a real big girl. Wearing skirts and heels everyday, with pretty flowery, frilly tops.. Who'd have thunk it...

This afternoon (Friday) the school was closed early due to the large amount of snow that had fallen. I think the staff were more excited than the students! Every time I walked passed a window I couldn't help but stop and stare at the white blanket of snow that covered the school yard. Seeing the students out on the astro-truf doing PE was a funny sight indeed. Simply magical. The crunch of fresh snow under my feet was a very new experience, it was really enjoying it until I almost come a-gutsa. Now that was funny...

I politely declined an offer of work until the end of their school year today, I came over here to get away from planning work... Have also come to the realisation this week that perhaps teaching is not what I want to do with my life. Up to this point in my career, I have worked with some amazing people and some awesome kids, but we'll see what happens in the future.

This week has been a good one, it seems I am yet to have a bad one. Have met some more incredible people, attended my very first NBA game (The London crowd was terrible) and I move in to my own room on Sunday. The room is located in central Hammersmith (sleep-ins here I come).

I received an invitation to my good friends Alana and Shannon's wedding this week. Will be going on my notice board in my new room! I've been a tad slack with photos this week, but will try my guts to get some more up shortly.

I am also in the process of trying to figure out where I want to go for half term break in a couple of weeks! Big decisions!

Thank you everyone for the continued support and well-wishes while I have been away. It's nice how the distance has brought me closer to old friends. I am starting to miss people dearly. Big shout out to my nephew Jack whose growing every day, but never fails to make me smile. Also big hugs and kisses to Bray and Jacqueline. Keep your eye on the mail kidlets..

Love all your guts. Stay classy San Diego
