First day after...

Yep, first day of practicum after my last exam. I think the exam went relatively well. As for the first day in high school: it was utterly boring. But then, it usually is when you just have to listen someone speaking about things you already know, don't you? So, I,m supposed to teach two classes of... Sign in to see full entry.

That's it!

Yep, that's it: last exam today at 5h30 pm. And then, the practicum. I'm so looking for the "after exam"! I might even go for a drink with some colleagues. As for the practicum, the school seems to be in a rough neighbourhood, but the classes are quite small: 15 students in core French and 20 in... Sign in to see full entry.

Greece for Son!

Three down, three left to go! Yep, as of yesterday, I've finished three courses: exams and assignments all done for theses three. At last. Now, two assignments and two exams left to do. And I'm dragging my feet for one of those assignments...I've been dragging them since I finished the first one in... Sign in to see full entry.

The end is near!

I should get my practicum's place before the end of the week...or so they say! Well, it is kind of the end of the week and I still don't know where I'm going! Will I ever? (In a more philosophical way! LOL) Another beautiful day outside that I have to spend inside, but hopefully I'll be finished by... Sign in to see full entry.

Back to the little life and little life's problems...

It's been two days already..the flags are being put back were they usually are: in the closet somewhere and people are going back to there little routine... But what a few incredible days it's been: I don't remember seeing so many Canadian flags just about everywhere before (we are not by nature... Sign in to see full entry.

GOLD! GOLD! GOLD!

We've done it: we won the gold medal for ice hockey! We now have 14 gold medals, that's one more than the Russian record of 13! It was a great game and I must say both teams played well....Canada just played a bit better. Go!CANADA!GO! (I know it's not very Canadian like...but....Hey! It's only once...

What a great day!

What a great day it's been for Canada yesterday: gold in skating, gold in curling and gold in snow boarding! And on top of it, we know the cousin of Jasey-Jay Anderson (gold medal snowboard); he went to school with Son and lives about 5 minutes from here! How much closer to fame could we get! LOL...

GO! Women!Go!

At least that's what Canadians should say! The Canadian Women Hockey team won gold! Once more! Actually, the 2/3 of the Canadian Olympic Medals were won by women this year! Good think Canada recognizes women as equal to men! Tschüs, Auslander Sign in to see full entry.

The pit-fall of honesty

Oh well, it's done. And I'm not too too sure how it went, I mean the interview with the school board. I think it went well enough until they asked me why I quit teaching at the univ. One of the interviewers was a principal, so, it's always delicate to let then know that I quit because I didn't see... Sign in to see full entry.

It's this time of the year...

Not much to say except that I have my first interview tomorrow and that I am almost out of voice: I got a bad cold and my voice sounds as if I was: "an alcoholic smoker", well... at least that's how my colleagues are describing me at the moment. Isn't it nice? Who needs enemies with friends like... Sign in to see full entry.
