What have I been up too? Not much really, I worked, spend money and so on... The month went by very very fast.
At the beginning of the month I was invited to go to the party at Mic's grantmothers house.. It was quite nice, lots of people! At first I was quite nervous meeting the huge family of Mic and Mic's mother.. But it was quite allright and I enjoyed myself! :) One of Mic's aunts was so kind to give me a couple of new books! (not yet printed but rather first version books from the publishers) This was soo good! There were about 10 new books I just got from her! This IS really a gold mine.. she promised she would keep them for me, for as she works at 'De Eenhoorn Publisher' (http://www.eenhoorn.be/) this is one of the most famous publishers from Belgium to publish childrens books. Then she gave us 2 free tickets too the Boekenbeurs where she will be too standing at the 'Eenhoorn stand'. Mic's grandmother was as lovely as ever :).. She adores Mic and Pieter.. (they lived with her for a little time when they were younger) And for a 80 year old she is VERY good and healthy...
We also visited the grave of her late husband and one of her lost child.. I am actually kind of furious with me I still didn't put some nice flowers on MY grandfather and grandmothers grave.. DAMN. 
I've been to the 'Boekenbeurs' a couple of weeks ago and it was very interesting, Mic and I had free tickets to go! But the trains were very expensive.. I buyed a book of Dikkie Dik and Mic bought me 2 craftsbooks and a gigantic book of: 'Guess who much I love you'... (A story about a big hare and a small hare telling eachother how much they loved eachother.. That was sooooow sweet! :) Loved the book :) We spend there about 3 to 4 hours!
http://www.boekenbeurs.be/ Unfortunatly the Boekenbeurs is already finished so I will be going again next year..
Some other thing to look forward too:
The Boekenfestijn will be returning to Ghent this december! From 18 to 21 December they will be located at the Flanders Expo in Ghent. This is a place to be for most kindergartenteacher, cos you can get LOOOOAADS of books at VERY good (and mostly cheap) prices.. I'm definitly going..
See you there maybe? Well it's really good :) You can find more future locations on their site (see above)
This month I also had the pleasure to go to Zwijnaarde again.. I had to replace juf Isabelle of the second class for a couple of fridays (only fridays..) but I'm happy with what I've got really.. It's a good school and I'm in a very good and smart class.. Next Tuesday and the last friday are next week.
Now I really pushed myself finding more schools to give my CV too, I have given to little CV's in my opinions to schools.. The thing is, I can't go to far off places cos I just can't get ther without a car, and going with the public transport is not that easy.. :S I'm very fortunate that I can get to Zwijnaarde with Mic's dad.. (lies on his traject to his work)
I found more schools in Ghent (about 26!) And if you ever want to go to a 'visionschool' like Montessori, Freinet, Steiner, Dalton you can find everything over there!!! But I'm not choosing for this kind of education.. (First want to have experience in the regular education..)
If you want too have more info about education in Ghent see: http://www.gent.be
The other places I'm going to give my CV are Merelbeke, De Pinte and Zwijnaarde.. Well, that just widers my options right? Hope so...
About the driving...
Have been driving up to 3 times a week! Wooow.. just terrible and awesome at the same time.. After work at my school I have to drive home.. (and it's just very busy traffic at that time) then on Saturday I get to drive through little towns and going some places I have never seen of been.. and on Sunday I mostly get to drive on the expressway when it's not that crowded (and unsafe) Just like today I had to drive again and we had lots of bad weather experience today.. I had bad raining, sunshine, snowstorm and hail! Just amazing.. But I got home safely and had to park (which I did exquisitly) :P
About the new CD by Enya!
One of these days I'm gonna post a little review about the new cd 'And Winter came'. But so far, I really, really like it.. It's very Enya! And it has some very nice highlights on it! Like 'One Last time By the Moonlight', and 'My!My! Time Flies'.. But very soon... :)
Oh.. and also.. I had a bug in the system! :P
Had something weird with my body a couple of days.. went to the doctor and it's been better.. (thank goodness!)
AND on monday I have to go to dentist AGAIN... grrrr... wish me good luck.. This time he will be 'plumbing' 3! holes.. aiaiaiaia...
And did you know.. :P
- I have seen LOFT (finally!) A Flemish film by Erik Van Looy! It was very good, with lots of suspensions and actually a couple of stories in the main story.
- I have seen Mamma Mia! A very singalongsong movie with LOAAADS of Abba songs :D with Valentijn and Stefanie.
- I am CLEANING my ROOM! (for heaven's sake) I finally had the courage to begin with this very craptacular job. And it's getting on pretty well I have to say :) YAY me!! :) I'm still continuing this ungrateful job..
- I'm already 1 year and 4 months together with my man!
- I have SEEN the FIRST signals of Spring.. In the street my father lives I came across a tree in one of the front gardens on the street on Wednesday.. It had already PINK BLOSSOM in it's branches.. Somebody has to tell that tree it's not spring yet! Dear me... :S
- Today I have seen the first signals of Winter.. It has been snowing the whole day! And it was combined with sunshine, sudden rain, a bunch of hail and so on... It was frosting cold outside and our dear Sinterklaas arrived today in dear old Deinze!.. Not too many children unfortunatly.. Sinterklaas must have been soooo cold too! :S
- I have been painting at Mic's house and Mic's Dad his room is done! Yay! Now only the toilet need a paintjob.
- Mic has exams on next Monday.. He has to do this cos his Swimming pool gets a new boss and everyone has to take this! :S.. I cross my fingers for Mic to pass!
That's it folks!
Lots of love!
