Placement praise!

First day of my teaching placement at Jane and Finch. It was so tiring, but really interesting and amazing. I'm intimidated because my teacher is big on collaborative learning, and she's really good. I know what I have to teach first term already, so I have to prep for that. Ed3 is going to be a LOT of work. But she's really good with classroom management, which is good for me because my management style is SO geared to grade 2s! Now that I have a grade 5 class...oh man. Pray I survive! But yeah, overall, I'm totally ecstatic about this placement. I've heard horror stories about really bad host teachers, but she doesn't seem too bad. She called herself a harda$$ tho!

On a sidenote, I have to teach government to the kids. Any tidbits of info you all want to give me would be great!

On another sidenote, when ppl stand in a circle and push someone around inside, it's called Nerdball. Who knew?! I'm no bully.

This blog is SO random.

Everyone's leaving for school. Or for some foreign land. Sigh. So sad. It makes me think about what it'll be like for me if, well, when I leave. Oh waterworks central. :*(

Still slightly sicky from camp. Phlegm level is going down. Cough level is going up. I'm regaining my voice, and the bruises are less purple.

I might as well give the weekend run-down. I went to a fun wedding with a fun skit with a fun friend and had a fun time! Then I had more fun times with more fun friends at a fun church and fun mall and fun apartment with assembling IKEA furniture fun! I also kicked Mike's butt in Speed. And then he kicked my butt in STRATEGIC war. See, we started out playing regular war, which is totally pointless because you just draw random cards. In strategic war, you get to look at all the cards you have and decide which one to play. It's pretty fun. The best part is when you have a war and can put out crappy cards and then fight with a good one. Unfortunately, it goes on forever if you both have pretty good cards. But yes, try strategic war. Guaranteed to be more fun than regular war.

I got to see my friends' apartments, and one of them lives across from a mall. That would be SUCH bad news for me. I also realized the London Asian Christian circle is very very tight.

Lots of random thoughts to amuse or, not amuse, random minds.

First day of school tmw! Am I excited?! I have 13 hours of class first semester and 10 during second semester. Do you hate me? AHahahaha. I'm proud of my hard-working friends tho. Go meddies (this is my new made-up name for med-school students).
