Hi, friends!

It's been a while, hey!

All is well, more or less.  I will catch you up on the minutiae of my life another day...

Classes are done!  I think I will have an A average unless my final assignments aren't as brilliant as I think they are.  : P

Tomorrow I start at an elementary school working in a Grade 5/6 class.  I am pretty excited about working at this school as it the students come from a different socio-economic background as the schools I was at last year.  They are also quite a bit older--in Canada the 'biggest' kids I've taught have been grade three.  (Neil and Chelle, I don't know what 'form/year' this works out to be, but the Grade 5/6 students are 10-11 (or possibly 12) years old.)

This afternoon I am working at 'Taboo--the naughty but nice sex show'!!  I am volunteering with Calgary Outlink, so I think it will be fun.  Apparently the board agreed that the volunteers at the Outlink booth would dress in a fetish style.  *gulp*  I don't actually own any typically fetish type clothes...

And this morning I am continuing with studying for my correspondence course about Canadian History (pre-contact to 1867, when we officially stopped being a colony and became our own country.)

I anticipate that I will be pretty busy the next four weeks in my practicum but then I have almost a month off until my final semester begins...will try to catch up with all your news then.

Much love!

PS  Here's a link to a site I made for a school project this semester.  It took me about 30 hours to do so I hope my prof likes it!

PPS  Mower is still around and kicking.  Apparently (a) getting the dental surgery done and (b) buying her special low-protein/high-fat cat food is doing the trick.  Yay!

"Join me" button!

Hey gang,

I'm here--briefly!  Jules and Heather, I have a 'Join this site' button two rectangles down from the photo of the rooster.  I'm assuming that if you click on it we can officially be friends.  Try it and I hope it works!

School is good--crazy busy but good.  I am looking forward to my practicum with the wistful wish that I won't be so busy then.  : )

Love and peace to you all!

Gael

PS Here's a photo of me taken a few weeks ago at a dinner party.  It was a good night.  : )

Seven Courses

Clearly the university thinks our class is something special as they have us doing SEVEN courses in nine weeks before beginning our four-week practicum.  

The good news is that our profs are phenomenal.  Really neat people who appreciate that the dean is slightly mad and so are not (completely) overwhelming us with work.  And the courses this year are very interesting.  I'm actually pretty excited to be in school this semester!

But there's a good chance that I won't be back much until December.
