Weekend

I guess technically it's Sunday -- haven't been to bed yet, though, so it's Saturday night to me! I did more coursework today, worked out a Curves, went to one of my favourite stores (Across the Pond -- they sell food and other goods from Britain) and then to my girlfriend's for curry. All and all a busy day. Tomorrow -- more coursework, and cleaning my house because my mother is coming to visit! Actually, she's coming down to take care of me after I have breast reduction surgery on Nov.1st. I'll be off school for four weeks, so I shouldn't have any trouble keeping up in the course!

This link has nothing to do with Teacher Librarianship, but it's a fun one! It's all the rage in Quebec and French-speaking communities in Ontario. It's called Tetes a Claques, and is a series of short skits mainly in French (or Quebecois, to be more accurate). If you have even a little working knowledge of French, you will understand at least some of them. Happy claquing!

TGIF!

Well, it's Friday. Again. I seem to mark the passage of time by Fridays -- my favourite day of the week. Might be because I go to my weekly "safety meeting" (as my principal calls them) at one of Hamilton's Irish drinking establishments... I go most weeks, meet good friends, have a bevvy and some dinner, and try not to talk shop (we're all educators). Lorna, I was reading your info about yourself on your blog -- fall is my favourite time of the year as well! I love the sound of leaves crunching underfoot, the smell of distant smoke from chimneys and the crisp air of a fall morning. It's been too warm this month, though. I'm still in my Birks! D.

Wow! I'm blogging!!

I guess I'm right up there with Rick Mercer and Rosie O'Donnell! Oh no, she has video on hers. I'm not too likely to get that technical...

Well, gotta go -- got work to do on my course!!
