teaching is going well, and i think that after a month of supply teachers the kids are starting to calm down and focus a bit. today i laid down the law (as much as i could i suppose) and the lovely grade sevens argued with every. single. thing i said, and brilliantly. was i ever that persistent at their age? i think i've got the other classes ( Read more... )

Hey there mademoiselle!
I'm not checking so much these days either...but thanks so much for the tips! I've been doing a bit of yoga to help - I can make you some photocopies from a book I find useful. Anyways keep in touch, maybe we'll see you at the Damo Suzuki/Riderless show if we can make it. The acupuncture is amazing but pricey - if you can get insurance coverage for it, I strongly recommend it. As for the needles - you just close your eyes and don't move (really! don't move!) so there's no chance for you to check out the needles being in you....just very nice feelings and usually a very refreshing nap.

some exciting news... i just got hired to teach at fanshawe! i'll be teaching roughly 25 hours a week. it has excellent wages too. you'll have to give me some tips. we'll talk about it some other time.

in addition, i have some friends who want to learn to knit. what do you say to possibly starting a knitting guild. i want to make my own patterns and i never put the extra time into it. if i devote a chunk of time on a bi-weekly basis i think i might actually put some action behind my words.

let me know what you think.

I don't know if I'm too late but Dana and my aunt both called me about a fanshawe dealie, but i think it's just night school. anyways Dana ROCKS!! And SO DO YOU!!! but seriously yes, i do want to join a guild. we can have meetings at my place or at the library if you like. i've been longing for a guild in london, so leave it up to my friend coco to say HEY let's just start one ourselves!!

i don't know who maureen is.? i wrote a textbook a couple of years ago and a woman from fanshawe liked my work and called me 'out of the blue' and asked me to teach some classes. i've been hired to work with the ontario works 'hard to serve' clients. the course hasn't yet been developed... i get to do that too. i may be in over my head... who knows? i'm also teaching a customer service training course and a basic introduction to computers. they're all daytime courses out of the galleria mall location. i'm pretty excited ( ... )
