I actually have access to the internet at a semi-convienient time. This can only mean one thing: I'm back in Canada! Our flight arrived on Sunday afternoon, after 2 frantic days of packing up everything we own in a 3 bedroom house in to 4 suitcases ( Read more... )

So, I had a paper that was due November 24. The same day as the education faculty's Educational Psychology exam. And a day before the faculty's Social Foundations of Education exam. So, we all (the like 20 people in the class) freaked out and asked the prof for an extension, which was granted. But, he didn't want to make it due during our ( Read more... )

I didn't realize it until just now, but my last post was the weekend before practicum began (Oct 7), and now I am posting the day after practicum ended. Yup, that's an adequate picture of my life ( Read more... )

Ok, so in preparation for teaching, I have taken at least a half credit in, like, everything. I mean, I could even fake law or chemistry or math or biology, if need be. I got to my school today and met my associate teacher and found out that I'm teaching...

I'm not at all feeling rejected that you didn't feel the need to call me back. It's not like I really needed to talk to you, or know what classes I'm going to be teaching, or where to go and when to show up. I'm sure we'll have a very rewarding working experience together.

We went to the pub, had a few drinks, and left around 1:00. We were having a good time; everyone ( Read more... )

My roommates are not good, pending further issues; they are simply the coolest people. One looks a little like my friend from the U of C arky program and is a little quiet and private, but nice and inclusive...and is gone from Friday afternoon until late Sunday night every week. The other is friendly and cheerful (Early Childhood Education ( Read more... )

Ok, so I finally moved into residence today. Not bad; my room is bigger than my room at home, my desk is HUGE, I have two closets, half a bathroom, and a decent kitchen. My roommates seem nice (then again, so did my roommates in London and we all saw how that went), and there's a cereal station in the cafeteria like the one in Gilmore Girls. ( Read more... )

So, sometime when I wasn't paying attention, my cross-country roadtrip to get to school has turned into a vacation ( Read more... )
