Last Friday, was a P.D. day here in Kingston and so all of us teacher candidates went to professional development day, which I have to say was pretty cool and I had a good time.
However, after P.D. day around 6 pm, calamity struck me in the form of a fever. I went to bed. I spent about 4 days in bed and missed two days of school because of this fever and cough and what also came to be breathing issues. It SUCKED.
However, now, about 6 days after I initially got sick and 2 days after I started to mend I feel pretty good. I'm not going to lie, that might be because I'm HIGHLY medicated (up until about this Saturday afternoon lol) but still I really enjoy not feeling like complete and utter crap.
Special thanks also goes out to Jason and Victoria for grocery shopping for me and buying me soup :) and also to Jason for coming over to check on me :)
In other news, tomorrow is the last day of Prac 1 which is weird because it doesn't feel like it's been a month, but it has. I'm giving my students a test tomorrow on Romeo and Juliet.
I've also been writing again which makes me really happy. I dunno but there's just something about writing that makes me feel good.
What also makes me feel good is that I have nothing to prep for tomorrow because it's already done, so what am I going to do?
Watch tv.

Afraid
Afraid, afraid, the little boy whispered.
I wish I wasn't, I wished I wasn't.
Afraid, afraid, the little girl whimpered.
I want to hide. I need to hide.
Afraid, afraid, the Daddy moaned.
It needs to stop, I can't make it stop.
Afraid, afraid, the Mommy cried.
I don't want to die, I will not die.
Afraid, afraid, they all told the sky.
We are so afraid, all of the time.
Afraid, afraid, the sky replied.
As am I, as am I.

"But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?"
My associate went over my unit plan with me today and it has been decided that I will start teaching TOMORROW.
And the plan is that I will continue to teach the class the entirety of Romeo and Juliet, (which means I'm teaching it until I leave).
It's a lot. And I'm nervous. But I'm also excited. I'm excited to see what I can do. I'm excited to learn more, and I'm excited for the challenge. It's going to be an interesting day tomorrow.
Tomorrow I'm also going to Toronto for Thanksgiving to see the fam, and to eat lots of turkey, perogies and mashed potatoes. I'm super excited.
The only damper to tomorrow is that I have teacher college course homework (Prof 180) that's due on SATURDAY, and so I'm going to get to Toronto friday night, hug everyone, and then have to do hw for 180 and post it.
Oh life.
However, despite that, the weekend is going to be wonderful I've decided. And tomorrow is going to be awesome.

R + J = whoa
Well.
I'm currently sitting at my desk, listening to the sound track from Finding Neverland, with papers piled up everywhere about Romeo and Juliet in regards to the unit that I'm planning for Thursday.
I have a lot of work still to do.
I do have about 7 hrs tomorrow in which to finish it. I've already been working on it for 5 hrs. I basically know what I want to do, it's just working out all of the logistics of what to cover, and how do I fit it all in.
Daunting.
My head is starting to feel like it might implode.
Tomorrow is definitely going to be hardcore in making sure that I get everything done for Thursday.
*Suspenseful Music*
I'll keep you posted.

quick life update
1. Prac stars on Monday. I'm nervous.
2. I can't tell if my allergies just ROYALLY suck lately or if I'm sick. I'm sticking with the allergy theory. I refuse to be sick!
3. My toes are bloody cold and I need to buy slippers
4. My visa is a b*tch. Once I get my balance down to $0. I'm not using the damn thing anymore.
5. coach canada is being stupid and won't let me a buy a ticket on line from Kingston to Toronto. This is going to be a problem. BIG problem. I need to get to the station before Friday to buy a ticket because buying a ticket on Friday, which is Thanksgiving weekend, is just not a good idea.
6. I'm on the fence about NCIS L.A. It's good, but it's much different than the original NCIS.
7. My laundry will be done in 2 minutes.
8. I have to read Romeo and Juliet for Monday. As well at the curriculum guide for grade 10 Academic English and History
9. I have this new ps2 game called Mercenaries. I love it. It's a wicked game.
10. Bolt House juice is a beautiful thing.
