Capital Health has finally come up with a solid job offer for me...the one I wanted from the beginning! I'll be starting at the beginning of August if my Masters project is finished, and at the beginning of September if it is not. It would be nice to start early, to get oriented and make some money (start paying off student loans). The job is with ( Read more... )

Hey kids! Well, looks like my interview proved fruitful. Capital Health has informed me they are interested in hiring me to work as a community SLP. I'll have to call on Monday to figure out what position will suit me best. Sweet!

Anyone who has an interest in urban phenomena, look
here. The dude turned his project into a book that won a prize for most unusual title or something. It's worth a look!

Can't sleep so catch up on blog. Must have been the Americano in the afternoon and the beer later. Doh! I know that stuff is bad for me! Went out for dinner at the local pub (Brewsters) and dared veer off the beer and chicken wings path to sample their more refined cuisine. ( Read more )

I know it's cold outside b'cause there are pretty ice images decorating the windows. Willow sits with half his body perched on the cat hutch and half on the window sill, trying to peek through a gap in the pattern. There's not much to see, but Willow is enchanted, it seems, by images of "the outside"; We dub him Willow - Alley monitor. He keeps ( Read more... )

The new year sees me well and happy with how things are going. I am now 3 weeks into my first practicum at a local school. This school is unique in that it serves children from preschool age to grade 9. In the mornings I pull kids from their grade one or grade two class for small group language activities. So things like working on past tense ( Read more... )

I take secret pleasure in the fact that I am an early riser - well, earlier than most - and savour the quiet early morning light filtering through the cheap ass windows that are obscured with ice for the winter months. Me and the kittys hang out - Willow on his hutch desperately trying to see wee birds through the ice; Tigger scampering around but ( Read more... )

Wow I haven't posted since the summer! Now in my fourth semester of this program (final academic one too). Autumn has come and gone - the leaves have been shed, the temperature sinks below zero most nights and this is just the beginning. I'm happy to say that I plan on riding my bike until it gets too cold or too snowy, neither of which has ( Read more... )

It's been a long haul, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. This week I wrap up treatment with my two clients - today we had our last session with our kid - she couldn't even say goodbye to us 'cause she was so sad:( And on Wednesday we'll have our final session with our adult. This'll be much less emotional for him I'm guessing. I'll miss ( Read more... )

What a beautiful day! Sunny and a reasonable 24 or 25 degrees that is, not 32 or 33 with humidity that could be cut with a humidity cutting device. This is the land of extreme temperatures I have decided. I'm sure there are places with more of a range (Winnipeg maybe?), but -30 in the winter and +33 in the summer is pretty impressive. As for the ( Read more... )
