It has been awhile

Time for an update about me.

I am 15 teaching days from being done. Then a week of professional development seminars and my teacher’s college experience is complete. The last 7 months have flown by. I wish I had more time to visit and hangout with the people I have met here, but we all have placed to go once we are done. Some to Asia, others the Middle East, the rest of us all over Canada.

I will be coming home for a bit, then picking myself up and moving down the road to Cowtown.  I am a bit scared for a full time teaching gig, but it will be a good experience. It will also be nice to be near the mountains and to be able to see some areas of Alberta that I haven’t been exposed to. As far as living is concerned I am going to be looking for a large one bedroom or a two bedroom place so that I can keep the teacher aspect of my life in one area. That way I can take the odd night and pretend not to be a teacher without having stacks of papers or books to look at.

As far as when I will be moving its up in the air. Ideally I would move in the start of August so that I am settled by the time I need to start prepping my classroom. However there is the chance I need to do a training course in the spring so I may go down earlier. Either way I plan to be home for a good chunk of the summer.

The summer plans include golf, the jeep, the truck, hiking…and possibly working if need be. I also want to try and do a bunch of photography. I have tried to do some here and will post them to my gallery soon.

As for my website I want to do some major changes to go along with my new career so keep an eye out.

Friday Five

What do you see when you are looking out of the window closest to you?

I see three hotels from three different decades. Pretty ugly.

I am the only one who comes in here.

Ugly yellow walls.

What is right behind you?

My bed and the door.

What is on today’s calendar sheet?

Was supposed to be passport day, but still need some info. So it is finish coursework day instead.

Friday Five

1. What song would you sing to your newborn child? (OR if you already had a child, which song did you sing to him/her?)
~You are my sunshine.
2. How do you think animals think? (i.e. in animal language, human language, etc.)
~Each animal has their own way of communicating, however I don’t think they think in the same way we do. I believe they are lucky enough to have a lot more simplistic form of thinking.
3. As a child, did you have a dream to make a difference in the world? Can you describe your dream?
~I did. I wanted to help people. Now I am teaching, so I think I am well on my way.
4. Do you believe in God/a Higher Being?
~No.
5. Do you believe in aliens?

~As in people who are in a country illegally…yes.

A classic

Here is a fun clip from Corner Gas.

Adding Video to my blog

Lately I have been finding a bunch of funny little videos and got to thinking, “why don’t I post them to my blog so others can see them?” Now this might take a few tries to get it just right but here goes.

The first video is cute.
