I will have to pay almost three times what a Canadian-educated teacher has to pay to get the Ontario College of Teachers to even look at my application for an Ontario teaching license. Why you do this to me, Canada? (Although your yearly license fee is seriously not bad. Four for you, in that respect.)

Today sucked. Had to drive Beth to the greyhound station. Got back to campus and the only open parking cost $10. Missed my morning class because I was driving around looking for parking for so long. Walked the 20 minutes to get my testosterone dose administered, and the nurse was in a staff meeting. Had to reschedule for tomorrow and walk all the ( Read more... )
