A Reflection on Reflecting about Reflection*
Have you ever thought about what makes you, YOU? I mean, really thought about it? Even though I often mock my classes mercilessly and sometimes feel as though I haven’t learned anything (content wise) being in teacher’s college has not only helped me become very self-aware, but also to be more comfortable with who I am and what makes me, me. In Ontario, teacher’s college is allllll about reflecting. Reflect this, reflect that. Reflect here, reflect there. Reflect on what you ate for lunch, why you chose what you did, how it made you feel, and how it will impact you as an educator. As much I am sick of…

The Transcript Saga*
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…

Ugh*
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*

To Spank, or not to Spank?
It’s finally here. After three years of complaining to you about writing essays, I am finally writing (procrastinating) my last essay of my academic career. Any essay I write in the future will be for additional qualification courses, which I won’t count. It’s almost bittersweet… I’ve so enjoyed my essay writing experiences… …riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. I’ve written about everything under the sun. Some essays were really boring (John G. Diefenbaker), some were really easy (analyzing Walt Whitman’s poetry), some were really challenging (Critical and Ecological Literacy) and some were very emotionally taxing to write (female genital mutilation or Nazi medical research). I’ve written short essays and long essays (38 pages! I didn’t…

DANCE PARTY*
I have a confession… This past weekend I reconnected with my inner-14-year-old and have been listening to obscene amounts of 90’s music. haha! Reach back in your mind to a time when helicopter hair and MC Hammer pants were cool (yes, I had a pair and wore them to school). Back when JTT was the hottest thing on the face of the earth (and if you try and tell me your room wasn’t plastered with posters… I’ll know you are lying). Let’s be honest–no one worked a mushroom cut like Jonathan Taylor Thomas. *swoon* Back when the “Boy Band” ruled the charts and music videos were terribly wonderfully cheesy. **Sidenote:…
