3 to go...
2 in one week! Hell hath freezen over!
Man howdy...I can't wait to be done this teaching practice. I have not been looking forward to something so much since my 13th birthday when I found my Nintendo Entertainment System in my parents closet. I don't know why I have this urge to run far, far away from this school but I do. And come Friday 1500 hours...I will. One of my associates is taking off Thursday and Friday and he jokingly said that he recommended me for relief. I almost strangled him. (That would have been a bit of a black mark on my teaching record!) Nope...I'm just going to finish the next 3 days (10 classes, ~10hours, 600 minutes) and walk away with my head held high (right across the street to the beer store! 24 Speights for 27$!!!)
I was cruising the internet at lunch today, checkin out the happenings at home, and found that the Net Nanny software that the school uses won't let me look at The Globe and Mail. What in the hell?!? I can't read Canada's national paper because it "contains inappropriate material." So I made a bit of a U-turn to Yahoo.ca news. As I was scanning down the headlines I found one that said "Deep Impact [spacecraft] ready for climax..." No wonder the Net Nanny sounded the buzzers and strobes! Oh and I also can't check out the New Pornographers website to hear their new album. (That one kinda makes sense I guess.) Censorship has finally affected yours truly and I don't like it one bit.
In other news...I have to go make photocopies.
PS - now I can't view my blog on the school's computers.

No comments? No fair. I read your blog as much as possible. And I miss you as much as possible. In the gayest way. I said it.

Hi Chris this is Theresa. I'm at your parents. I sent you an e-mail Thursday and I hope you got it. Let me know either way at trdorion@hotmail.com . I also tried to get into your web-page but couldn't. So you sound a little discouraged with teaching. Welcome to the club - oh sorry - not in that club anymore - retired!
I have to go now . Your dad wants to play the Newlywed game - go figure! I guess we should get all the answers right. If not we need to go to therepy. Hope to hear from you soon.

This is my first time posting a comment on a blog.. feeling a little awkward... but i just wanted to tell you i met a guy from washington DC who teaches 10th graders and claims that not only the students, but the admin and the parents treat him like a baby sitter. So he goes out and gets wasted most nights. Oh, he is also a part-time rapper. yeah.. rapper.. not Raptor like I thought he said... but a rapper. Made me think of you.
