I had my first subbing day today. The kids were pretty good. The school is a little odd in that some of the classes are 3/4, 4/5, 4/5/6, and 5/6. Everyone's split. I was nervous this morning but I had done most of my prep yesterday so I didn't have much to worry about. As I was waiting for the ferry I realized that I don't think I've been on it since I got my driver's license. Long time. It did feel good to be back in a teaching role.
I'm sorry. I'm just not good at keeping up a blog when nothing is going on. Who wants to read about my boring life? I ate, I slept, I was on the computer, ummm... sadly that's pretty much all I do. Now that it's September I'll at least get out a few days and do some subbing. Yoga should be starting up soon as well. For now I'm just hoping for better days ahead.
It's been almost 2 weeks since I last posted something, so I figured I should let y'all know I'm still here. As you can guess from the title, I don't really have anything to say. Just waiting.
Although, I did start reading The Divine Romance. I'm really excited about it. The Lord is speaking to me and I've only barely begun.
I found out from one of my Grade 4 students yesterday that one of my kindergarten students was killed on Thursday. He was a great kid - all the kindergarteners were. He was quadding and flipped and got choked by the handlebars. The death of a student, especially one so young, was certainly not something I had expected to hear about within my first year of teaching. My heart goes out to his family, classmates, and community. In a village that size, it really makes a difference. Having 6 students in that grade, instead of 7, will be a permanent hole.
I did it! I got my baby groomed.
Before:
and After:
I know she looks a little weird, but I really do love it. She smells nice, she doesn't look as hot, and she's still super soft. The groomer even put a matching bow on her collar. She seemed quite happy when I picked her up. Veritas even got out of her carrier to show off the new look and didn't complain.
