Well, this may very well be the last update for quite a while. For those of you not entirely in the loop I’m going to be a don in one of the university residences this semester. I think this will be a lot of fun and really rewarding in the end, but that doesn’t stop the fact that training starts tomorrow and I have a few things to still finish up before then. Managed to get in a decent amount of hours these last two weeks at work though, I’m still not sure if I want to go more so towards trying to pay next tuition myself or OSAP it. I have a feeling I have to figure this out soon, because too much more and they’ll be huge asses and decline me again; Anyway.

I’m now moved into my new place, it’s pretty nice, I’m going to try to grab some pictures tomorrow and post them before vanishing. There is a lot of white space on the walls though, so I definitely need to finally get around to getting some posters to decorate this place — I’ll be here for 8 months from now after all and that’s a long time. I don’t really have too much to add, except maybe I already miss a few people from Waterloo who aren’t going to be around this upcoming semester or aren’t here right now at least =P

Well, I think I’ll leave it at that, going to go answer a quick quiz about questions from my contract, shouldn’t be too hard.

This is going to be rather short for now.
I just wanted to mention that it’s really annoying when all the doors around here are locked because no one is around
I just spent the last, almost 3 hours at work. Why? Well, sometimes you have things that you didn’t get to, and when you combine that with the fact that they weren’t working when I thought they should be, and the temptation to not go fix it was no match. So yeah, it’s fixed now, it’s also almost 12pm. Night!

One more exam to go, and it’s in about an hour. I feel comfortable with what should be 3/5 to 4/5 of the exam material according to the breakdown. Unfortunately this is all according to the worst teacher in the history of my teachers, so we’ll have to see. My plan is to do better then others and she better bell curve this a lot if we do as well as we did on our 2nd midterm as a class. Anyway, it’s weird, I made a formula sheet for it and it is less then a page, a feat considering I had a page each of material for the first two midterms and this is supposed to be comprehensive, but the rest I honestly feel I remember/know, so we’ll see.

Well that’s it really, going to go run and meet with Linda to double check our formula sheets and see how this all goes!

I’m going to post something for you, it has a video, but the words are what’s important.

He says the problem with teachers is, “What’s a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?”

Let me break it down for you, so you know what I say is true:
I make a difference! What about you?

And now, if you have a minute, here’s the source video with all the things it adds to the presentation: Taylor Mali on What Do Teachers Really Make?
