It’s a Sign*
I love signs that are incorrect. You know, business signs that have lights go out, or when neighborhood hooligans steal letters to make signs spell something funny. For example, for the longest time I shopped at the Price Chooper. Now I shop at the Rice Choooer. Apparently Price Chopper doesn’t fix their signs. When Too Kool, Phee, the Hubs and I were driving around looking for a restaurant on the weekend, we passed my current favourite: Mark’s Work Warhouse. My all-time favourite though, was that our library in town read ‘Senior’s City Pubic Library’ for nearly 6 months before it was fixed. haha Seriously, how classy is that? It’s right…

I love Grade 2*
Today was my first real day in the classroom as a literacy/numeracy tutor. Last year my job was a little different, I was teaching 6 students at a time a separate curriculum heavily based on literacy skills in a separate classroom and had very little interaction with the teachers or other students. However, THIS year I am right in the class and am somewhat of a student teacher! I was a little apprehensive when I learned that I would be working in a grade 2 classroom as I prefer working with older students, but after my experience today I am 90% converted. I now see why so many people apply…

New Day*
Well, Monday was a crappy day. After I wrote that post I had a good cry and the Hubs held me and talked me through my stress-I-hate-school-cry and watched a movie with me until I was too tired to even stay awake anymore. Have I mentioned how much I adore my husband? Yesterday was much better. I decided to break from the ordinary and spend a day OFF campus. It was wonderful. I also started my first day teaching again. I met with my principal yesterday at 1pm to discuss my new teaching position and am SO happy to report that I actually got matched with the teacher I was…

Today, I Hate*
Warning: this post will be full of venting. Today:I hate… school. I hate… being a student. I hate… the subjects that I’m majoring in. I hate… not doing well in my classes. I hate… not being motivated to do well in my classes. I hate… that I’m so busy. I hate… that being a student and working 2 jobs prevents me from doing fun things. I hate… “required readings”. I hate… being broke. I hate… all things to do with a student lifestyle. I hate… that I may potentially have to take a 5th year. I hate… not knowing if I’ll get into teacher’s college for another month and a…

Weekend Adventures*
The Hubster and I have had a very full, but nice weekend. On Friday I had a busy day of work and errands. I’ve been fighting to get books for a class I’m taking and so have been checking the library every morning to get the books that have been returned the previous day. I hate taking classes of a specific topic for this very reason. The library at my university is inadequate and doesn’t have nearly enough books to supply the need students have for them. So, we fight. Anyway, I got my books (I’m writing an essay about Nazi science and doctors for my German History course) and…
