I am now back on Canadian soil. It's strange because everything in Guelph is so much the same that I can see how it will be easy to feel like the last year was some wonderful imaginary story that I made up. It is sort of nice to be in such familiar territory though, and of course amazing to see those I've missed the past year.

I shall return to my regular scheduled programming on my other blog. You can read about my relatively boring day-to-day life. That is until I head off somewhere else. Stay tuned!

Well it seems at if there is quite a terrorist scare in airports in the UK at the moment. Apparently there was a ploy to blow up some transatlantic flights and kill tons of people with materials smuggled in hand luggage. Security at all airports in the UK has been tightened a lot and they say that delays are reported. The threat level has been listed as critical, which the BBC this morning said was the highest possible. Scary for a couple reasons. Firstly, well it's just general the-world-is-messed scary. But secondly - I want to be able to come home tomorrow! And not have a fear of being blown up! I'm sure it will be fine but the BBC did say it may last 2 days. No hand luggage at all is allowed. Oi. We shall see how the day goes.

In happier news, my boss said I can leave early today! Since he got a little concerned when I told him I havn't started packing. Supposed to do that last night but ended up drinking instead with some friends from the beginning of my time in Scotland. Was nice to see them. Worth the hangover today. When will I ever learn?

I will be in Guelph this time on Sat. Oh my good god. I think I said this same thing when coming here. Strange.

Well looks as if I am going to be bringing a Scottish cold home with me. Just my luck. Ha ha. I think I got to excited about my last few weeks and coming home. Plus there is a girl coughing up a storm in the desk across from me. Bah! Red-nosed and puffy eyes Emily coming your way.

Got an exciting few days coming up. This weekend we're taking a road trip (in a car! - I know it's dorky but I never get to ride in one anymore) to Hadrian's Wall and Newcastle and such. Just a day out but I wanted to get down there before I left. Going to a comedy show at the festival, hitting up the Botanical gardens, getting my hair cut, potentially a tiny bit of shopping; all sorts of excitement.

It was one of my flatmates birthday last night so we went out to Monster Mash, which has the best bangers and mash around. We all ate so much we wanted to be ill.

Apparently I have to train a girl to take over my job (since they like me so much - ha ha). Two whole days. What the hell am I going to tell her? I spend most of my time wasting time (as shown by this post). I mean there are a lot of things to know, but that would take a morning. Not 2 days. Perhaps I'll make her do my boring filing.

Oh I just got my teaching placement for teachers college. I'm in Guelph! And sort of downtown (Laurine Ave) so I can ride my bike! The class is grades 1/2 which is pretty young and not exactly what I wanted but I'm still excited.
