Tonight is the first night that I don't feel like I'm gonna have a stress breakdown. I'm not sure what it is. Maybe because I finished my paper that is due tomorrow. I'm not sure. I'm going to play some guitar hero while this lasts though. We've begun moving Carlos' things into the house. Mine will be moving in this weekend. Halloween will also be happening. I'm going to Laurie's Halloween party so that should be a lot of fun. I had a dream about what I should dress up as so I must work on that costume for Saturday night. :D

Some of these were just too good, I couldn't resist. hahah overheard in new york!

New Home So we gave a deposit this morning, and we will be signing the lease on Monday. After that, we can start moving our stuff in. I'm excited and sad at the same time. I'm just sad because I really like the place I have now and I will be sad to leave it. I understand that it is way to small for three people to live in though. So this new place... how was it rate? Location: amazing (like two block from where i am now, near my granny's, right near Sarah's work... like literally 5 minutes away walking) Greenery: Spectacular! Actually it we be hard to find a backyard with more nature than the one we found. IT HAS GRAPE VINES for god's sake! Real ones, with grapes that you can eat! It also has a pear tree and a plum tree and flowers in the summer. Fireplace: It has a room with a fireplace! Oh my god. Seriously, I've wanted to have a fireplace my whole life! I already see how I'm gonna decorate for Christmas and how the Christmas tree will fit in that room. Th...
Tyndale Tutoring Experience (I just need a place to record this information for later) I had my first tutoring experience at Tyndale on Monday, October 20, 2008. I was working with cycle 1 elementary students (grades 1 and 2), an hour with an English group, and then an hour with a French group (well Anglophones learning in French, immersion or completely in French). The teacher or facilitator I was working with was named Amanda. I help a boy, sulakstan, work on a story for his journal. The hardest part for me here was knowing how much to expect from him and how picky to me. As an example, while he was writing in his journal, he would write some of his letters with capitals although he was not beginning a new sentence. I was not sure whether he should already know the capitals were only for the beginning of a sentence or whether I should just encourage the fact that he was writing in the first place. In the French half, i was working with a girl, Destiny, with her math homework. She h...
Aujourd'hui je ne travaille pas a Willingdon mais j'enseigne les enfants en mathematics a Tyndale St. Georges. Au moment je suis au travail a Club Atwater. Je suis fatiguer et je dois etudier pour mon examen Jeudi en politiques en education. Blah, je n'aime pas ca de tout. J'ai envie de dormir. J'espere que l'enseignement cette apres-midi va bien aller. J'ai un peu hate. hahah je n'ai pas les accents sur mon ordinateur. Je vois aussi que mes phrases en francais sont un peu bebe. Je ne peux pas m'exprimer comme en anglais mais c'est amusant d'essayer. Bon, alors je vais etudier pour un peu puis je vais faire un the (accent) en haut. Peut etre si je fais des blogs en francais de temps en temps ca va m'aider a practiquer. Ca prend comme double l'effort... hahah
Doing my usual Friday morning routine, at work studying... I think that my science midterm should go well today. Here's hoping at least. Tonight I don't want to do any homework or studying at all. After my shift at Willingdon, I'm gonna go home and work on my puzzle! I should post up a picture of it, it's coming along boy. hahaha it's a lot of work tho but I enjoy it. I force Carlos to do it with me muhahahaha! :) I love that lil hombre! :D Guess what I'm listening to here at work? Yep! The Jack Johnson miester! I'm also about to eat a peach. Yum yum! I am just rambling because I don't want to study anymore. I really should look over the powerpoint presentations again though... oye Halloween is coming up soon! I haven't even had time to make any plans or decide what I am going to dress up as... I was thinking about dressing up as JEM but shhhhh it's a secret!
I'm in the library at school right now and I am soooo tired. I just want to go home and take a nap. I had my geo midterm this morning and it went so-so, could have been better and could have been worse. I would go home, but i have to do a lesson plan in my text class. It's only worth 10% but still, i would rather not lose those marks so I gotta start. I'm seriously sleepy tho. One class to go after my next one and then it's home to study for my science midterm tomorrow. Man I just wanna break. I would take the weekend but I have to study for one more midterm and work on an assignment. It never ends. Ahh but it does because there are only 6 more weeks of this semeter. so muhahaha it cannot last forever! After this semester I will be half done my degree in education. I will have one semester of class left and then one year of stage. I'm looking forward to the stage, I hope it will be a good experience. Ok, off to work on my assignment now. My wrists are actually tired...
I want to go and travel. I want to leave Montreal for a while. I wanna teach in some place warm and far away. Far away from men and from relationships. At least far away from the ones I've been with and the ones I've been in. The cycle is always the same and I want out. out out out out ! ! ! I want to fall in love. I want to fall in love with someone from another country and then leave before it has time to get serious. Before it has time to be ruined. Before the person's faults come through. Before I have to give them just one more chance. Before it becomes abusive. Before I lose myself. I want someone who won't hurt me. I want someone who I will not hurt. I want someone who can hold me and make it better. I want to be a monk. I want to be spiritual. Relationships kill my spirituality. This isn't love.
Happy Birthday Jesse! Hope you have a good one. :) I woke up feeling better today than I have in a while. I think it's just stress related to school. I have one big paper and 3 midterms next week, so needless to say, I've been freaking out a lil bit. But I started the paper so now I don't feel as overwhelmed. I also started to read The Giver last night. I have always wanted to since high school. It's interesting so far but it definitely has a creepy vibe to it. Halloween is coming really soon and I'm way behind on my planning. I freaking love halloween. Damn school stress, I still don't even know what I'm gonna be. I'll have to figure that one out very soon!!! Oh man. !! okay that's all i'm gonna say for now.
I have to stop this Jack Johnson obsession. All I listen to at work in the morning is the Jack Johnson, Curious George soundtrack. hahah I really like it! And I came to work today and there was a new Jack Johnson album: Sleeping Through the Static. Actually I never really liked Jack Johnson, only the curious george kid stuff but... I got curious and I put in the new album. I REALLY LIKE IT! Uh-oh... I'm really tired by the way...
So I might be getting a new job at the Y instead of at Willingdon. I'm not sure yet. Not sure if I really want the other job, or if I will get it. I love the kids at willingdon but the management and some of the other staff members are making the job suck. This new job would be working with Teens which is something that I wouldn't mind doing. I guess it'll give me a good comparison between lil ones and adolescents. I like working with both groups. I will really miss my Willingdon kids though so I really really have to think about it. Also school is absolutely crazy this semester!!! like seriously. so much math and other stuff to get done. I guess I got used to only having 4 classes per semester and now that I have 5 and my two jobs, it's a lil intense. Hopefully it'll all be worth it in the end tho... Okay i have to get to my next class. Tonight i have to do more math or really get my geo paper started. I think i'll stick to the math..
