So a quick update on my day of gong show yesterday. It was a pretty classic day. Erin and I had to go and rent two SUV's for our competition (for those who don't know my vocal group is leaving for an international competition on Tuesday). It was a full on debaucle renting the cars since we got there like 10 minutes before they closed and neither of ( Read more... )

I found out today that I got into the Faculty of Education! So that's good news. I had no doubt that I would but still always a great thing to hear. I get conditional acceptance - conditional on me passing my two summer courses and such. But that's easy peasy. So yes....now comes the stressful part of trying to come up with the 12 grand that the ( Read more... )

It's Wednesday. Half way through the week. I've spent the past 3 days working at Cypress Park Elementary. It's a really small school with only 55 kids and 4 teachers. My student is realy high functioning and because I don't know all the data taking for him I mostly just monitor him for social interactions and help out with kids in the class who ( Read more... )

I'm tyring to heal without antibiotics bc I believe we overuse them and I used to have them all the time in the past. So yes...wrote a final today...with searing pain in my throat. Was...interesting. I could have tried to get my exam deferred ( Read more... )

So...a small rant about my morning. I had an interview this morning with the North Vancouver School District for an on-call Special Education position (working with kids with disabilities etc). So I know that North Van is really big on having this program called SETA..which is basically two years of theoretical special needs children. But in their ( Read more... )

So my brother plays computer games professionally. (Yes it is possible!) Well at close to professional as there is. He plays the game Counterstrike and plays for Team Canada, and is among the best in the world. Apparently there's quite the world out there. Anyway, for the past several years he's travelled alot to Korea and CHina and Japan etc to ( Read more... )

Spending a few minutes procrastinating. I've already read 2 books today (I had to skip school)and still have one more to get through. THe reason for the insanity is that I have a term paper due on Monday and it's the mad panic rush to start it etc. But I did just get quotes for one author and planned paragraphs so I'm feeling ok. For the next hour ( Read more... )

I decided to go to one of the fitness classes included in my gym membership for North Van rec. It's called "Legs, Bums and Tums" and so yesterday morning at 9:30 am there I was. In a nutshell- holy crap. Hard work much. Think 1 straight hour of intense leg squats and cardio and then core toning on the ball. Plus I'd never been and everyone else has ( Read more... )
