I'm here!!!
So here I am in the big city. This week has been eventful yet not. We just got internet after a big long argument with Sasktel which I won't go into now, lest my blood pressure rises too high. The satellite should be hooked up today... it better be hooked up today! Could you go for almost a week without internet and tv? It's definitely harder than you think.
Today is a day for preparing myself for subbing. Stace and I came up with a cool idea - I'm making subbing bags! I bought cheap, big gift bags at a dollar store and I'm filling them with cool games, toys and activities, one bag per grade. Today Kass is coming over and helping me colour file folder games. Ooooooh do I hate colouring now. I can't believe I'm actually saying that, but it's true. Too much colouring and making posters in my education classes (right fellow ed grads?)!!
I've had some social interaction this week, which was nice. Steve and I went for supper on Sunday night, and I've seen Kass and Brea a few times this week. I've talked on the phone with more people than I thought I would actually. Plus I went home (well, to Cudworth) to help mom and dad settle in. That took a nice chunk outta the day.
Oooh ooh! I forgot to mention the job I could have had! I had an interview with the Misbah School (an Islamic school in the city) and they offered me a job teaching 15 2-3-4 kids. I would have taken it but they are a private school funded by donations and stuff, so they weren't offering a good salary, with no benefits. At least with subbing I can get benefits and actually belong to the STF. It's crappy work but maybe it's my "in" for a "real" job.
That's all I got to say for now. Expect more posts from me since I actually have internet now! Larson out.
