"C" is not Just for Cookie*
A couple of weeks ago I found a new blog that I am absolutely in love with: Clever Girl Goes Blog. It’s funny and witty and just an all-around great read. This week, Tia (the author) was tagged in an ABC game, which she proceeded to pass on to other people. I was assigned the letter “C”, and I’m supposed to make a list of 10 things I love that start with that letter. SO. Here we go! My absolute first instinct was to write ‘chocolate’ (obviously... I am a woman after all…), but as I haven’t touched the stuff in six months, I’m going to pass. Instead, my 10th…

Pick-Up Line Offenders*
I sometimes think there is an old woman trapped inside my body. Despite this theory, I went out last night. (no seriously, I actually left my apartment and went… to a pub. *GASP* I know, CRAZY, right??) I actually had a really good time too… but here’s is how I know there is an old woman living inside me: 1) Karog and I didn’t leave until 10pm. I actually had to coach myself into thinking that 10pm was not that late… because in my head that was 2 hours past jammie time. (jammies = pjs) 2) I wanted to go to see some friends and wish BD* a happy birthday,…

Better Today*
I love Friday. Friday is my best friend. (well, second best friend. Hubster comes first.) Today was SO much better than yesterday… aside from the fact that the minutes craaawled by this morning, it was a good day. I taught my first lesson–I did a 50 minute introduction to drama and played a game called “Machines”. Machines involves a lot of movement where you build machines with your body and by connecting to other people. Even my group of “cool guys” participated and seemed to enjoy it! Best of all, my AT liked how I handled the class and gave me really positive feedback. I was nervous to deliver the…

Mood Music*
I really had kind of a blah day at my school–I’m just frustrated with a situation I’m in and I need to speak up for myself and get it sorted it out. Unfortunately that’s not my strong suit… so I’ll have to wait and see what develops. Whenever I am sad or frustrated about something, I always turn to music. I actually have an entire folder devoted to “mellow” music that I always turn to when I feel like this. I especially love anything with a piano and a beautiful melody. The song below is one of my current favourites, and I’m actually listening to it right now as I…

Staff-Room-a-Phobia*
I have a confession… I am afraid of the staff room. More specifically, I am afraid of the staff room lunch table where teachers eat and converse and I listen in awkwardly. *sigh* The school I am teaching at for the next several weeks has a wonderful staffroom. It’s big, and pretty, with lots of space and couches. It’s also full of teachers that I don’t know… who give me ‘the look’ every time I walk by. (You know, the “who is that and why is she invading my space” look) Ok, so maybe that was an exaggeration, but you get the idea. I am the new kid– “fresh meat”…
