    I Did It!!

    As I sit down at my desk with my laptop to write I can’t help but shift my eyes to the window every three seconds to watch the snow. For the first time in a long time, I actually think that the snow looks really really pretty. It’s not blowing sideways and it isn’t so thick that I can’t see the buildings across the street. There are just these enormous flakes falling, gently covering absolutely everything in an endless sea of white. It looks like Christmas snow. :) Well, it’s January 31st, and this is my 34th post for the month! This is the first time in my 3 years…

    HOORAY!!!!!

    I FOUND MY STUDENT CARD!!! I checked at the downtown bus terminal on Monday, but they told me they didn’t have it, so I thought that was that. As I was waiting for my bus today, I really felt that I should go and check again just in case and, lo and behold, it was there!!! Thank goodness. :) Shop Girl*

    Oooh I’m right down to the wire tonight–I almost missed my daily post!! That’s because I have had an insanely busy, but awesome day. I’ll be honest, when I woke up this morning I was so not looking forward to today. I loathe having class on Fridays. However, I dragged my tired body out of bed at 7am and was out the door by 9am and headed off to school. The only upside of having class on Fridays is that I get to see my wonderful teacher friends, whom I love love love. I seriously have met amazing people this year, and they make the stress of this year bearable!!…

    Still Alive*

    Every bone in my body is completely and utterly exhausted. It has been, by far, the busiest two weeks of the entire year thus far. Let’s recap: I am now officially on a much, much needed Christmas break. Somehow I “lucked” out and 75% of my assignment due dates fell in the last two weeks. I had presentations, lesson plans, essays and midterms all due. I handed my last three assignments this afternoon after sleeping only 2.5 hours last night…I was up until 4:30am, and up again at 7am trying to get everything done. I feel like my whole body has been run over with a truck, and I am…

    Teacher Shop Girl*

    I become Teacher Shop Girl* on Monday.:) I’ve been working in a school as a tutor for the past 6 weeks and it’s been AWESOME, but I’m so excited to actually get into a classroom and start teaching. As it turns out, I’ll be teaching a grade 10 applied English course and I am SO excited. Now you’re probably wondering why I would pair this post with a picture of Billy Idol. Wellllllll that’s because I’m freaking working with him! Well, not really, but I swear it’s my associate teacher could be his double… haha! When [Mr. Idol] walked into the office to meet me I was sooo shocked. He…
