Micro-teaching and vaccine

I had my first presentation today, they call it a micro-course because you have to teach for only 20 minutes. I did it on the cell and I think it went well (even though I did not use the good PowerPoint presentation! I used the old one that was not up to date, but everyone told me it was fine. So!)...

Dreaming of Memories...

I love sleeping. I'm dreaming that I'm sleeping. I mean, I'm day-dreaming about sleeping. I've never been a morning girl, even if I had to wake up at 4 am many mornings for the pastry shop. I never learned to enjoy it. I'll probably never do. So, this waking up every morning to go to school is... Sign in to see full entry.

Stealing money

One more exam....and feeling like I flopped it! The more I read about the different rules the more I get confused. And I'm a French speaking native! I'm talking about all the rules, and the many exceptions to these rules, in French. I finish not to know what was the rule and what was the exception.... Sign in to see full entry.

Lost in woods, with a google map!

Never again will we use google map to find our way! We tried to find three cottages yesterday and after about two hours of looking around, following the google maps, we asked someone from the place where these cottages might be: he looked at them briefly and told us: But, there are on the OTHER side...

Kids and dogs and sisters

First day of training; it went OK. I've been teamed up with a teacher who teach French (mother tongue) to grades 9 and 12 kids who want to go to uni. So, the classes are relatively quite (although when I was in high school these classes would have been deemed noisy and a bit unruly) and there are no... Sign in to see full entry.

Everything that's fine, finish fine (or something like that)

Son came back safe and sound from his bike trip, even if it was raining today. He really enjoyed himself and was happy with his "performance", i.e. he was leader of the group for a long while. Also, contrary to last year, they made such a good time on the way back that they arrived earlier than they... Sign in to see full entry.

Training with God!

I've got my "possible" place of training. I said "possible" because I still didn't get the e-mail to let me know for sure. The teacher responsible for my group of students told me (and another girl in the same situation as I) where I'm supposed to go. So, if it's for real, I'll be teaching French as...
