I know I usually give each one of these a separate entry, but I haven't updated this since June so I've shoved them all in one entry to save your friends page...

Completed:

1. Become a qualified teacher.
I passed my PGCE course and graduated, thus becoming a fully qualified Primary School teacher in July 2006.

4. Get a permanent address.
I have one. I live with my boyfriend in Stirchley, Birmingham.

12. Move in with my boyfriend.
We moved into our house, mentioned above, in November 2006.

15. Join and use Freecycle (http://www.freecycle.org).
I gave away some uneeded bits and bobs when we first moved in here.

21. Sort out all my junk that is in bags and boxes in my parents' garage. Give unwanted things to friends, sell them at thriftstoreuk or give them away at Freecycle (http://www.freecycle.org) and charity shops.
This was done when we moved in here. Charity shops got lots.

54. Attend my graduation making sure I look at least a little bit smart this time.
I did! In September 2006 I had my graduation ceremony. Tony Robinson was there. And here is a picture of Liz and I to prove it!

59. Visit a castle.
_departure_ and _eyeofthestorm_ took me to Warwick Castle this summer. I have a picture of Josh and I there.

67. Go for a run.
I've been on a run twice a week every week since the beginning of lent. And i intend to keep it up for the whole of lent... and maybe beyond... who knows?

71. Update my Fanlisting (http://pixie.snow-feathers.org/tiffany).
This was done for me, the hosting for it ran out so it is no more!

81. Go out with cool people from uni who I never really socialise with outside classes. Arrange it myself if necessary.
I did! We went out as a group in Oxford. For evidence of Emma and I posing drunkenly

85. Have a serious heart - to - heart with Stu.
This one was kind of thrown upon me when I had to take him to hospital. But it did happen.

86. Get my hair cut.
lipstick_letter cut it for me a while back now. To see what I look like

87. Go to the cinema at least 5 times.
Since I made this list I've seen: Hot Fuzz, Blood Diamond, Clerks 2, V for Vendetta, Children of Men... and some more...

88. Have a special box or file that I can put all the things my pupils have made for me in.
I have a big shiny bag for this now.

90. Visit the mysterious Conduit House that I discovered whilst walking down my road today.
I went with Kelly in July. It wasn't very exciting. Just rocks really.

94. Kiss a girl.
x

100. Make a present for a friend.
I decorated gingerbread men in a Harry Potter style for Liz when she was sad last year. I'll see if I can find a picture of them... Ah yes!

Work Towards:

41. Sort out my computer including resizing/deleting all digital photos (I stole this one off blob).
I've started this but got bored. Almost done though.

Phew!

98: Get in touch with Helen from uni again

I chatted to her on MSN the other day for the first time in ages.
And now she's added me on MySpace. So I figure that counts.
We're meeting up over the summer again too.

84: Start to make a portfolio of work I have done with children so that I can take it to job interviews

I've got one. It's a wee bit sparse but it's ok. I will need to fill it up with stuff from this practise I think because I didn't keep enough of the work I did with the kids at my mlast two schools.

80: Participate more in group work and not just try and get away with doing as little as possible

I did loads and loads of work for our group project making a CD Rom on environmentalism in the primary school.
And we did reeeeeeeally well on it, too.

Complete: #57

Sun, 25 Jun 2006 19:27:51 GMT

57: Have an attendance of over 95% for all my lectures/classes/teaching practises this year

Even if I take 5 more days off this year out of the remaining 10 days left, I'll still have completed this one. I had 2 days off sick, 1 I bunked and I've had 2 days of for interviews. That's it.
Seeing as I only attended about 40% of my classes in my 3rd year as an undergrad this is bloody good for me!

I'm on the books with these people to start taking some more driving lessons here in Oxford. They'll probably start once I finish my teaching placment on the 10th though, because it's hard to pin me down otherwise.
