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…

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”…

It’s finally over. What a week… after a stressful couple of days I’ve become best friends with a wonderful UPS lady and have made Ghetto U hate the sound of my voice and recognize me by first name (this is a school of 40 000 students… not bad, eh!). I also am possibly not friends with the registrar’s office at Hippie U for the time being, but let me start at the beginning… MondayMonday dawned bright, sunny and care-free. I arrived to my educational law class with my laptop, prepared to expand my knowledge of… something. While my professor droned on about something unimportant, I took a moment to check…

This has not been a good week. I have a never-ending saga to relate to you tomorrow when I see whether or not everything works out. Without giving any details yet, a word to the wise: never ever ever attend more than one post-secondary institution. If you do, get ready for looooots of stress. I’m still attempting to complete my essay, so I’ll have to share my saga with you tomorrow. Be prepared for some serious venting. :) I hope your week has been less stressful than mine… Shop Girl*

Today was one of those days. You know, one of those days when nothing absolutely terrible happens, but nothing good happens either. It started off by my not sleeping well at all last night. I was stressing a little bit about résumés and jobs and the future a little bit, and it resulted in my not being able to fall asleep until 2:30am. When I fell asleep it was lovely… until it was rudely disturbed by my alarm at 6:45 screaming at me to get out of bed. I was absolutely exhausted this morning, but I made myself look all pretty and professional as today was “School Board Day” at…
