Teaching... in all it's beautiful, chaotic and often insane glory

Boy, am I spent...

Sorry for the long hiatus (?) but it's been crazy.... craaaaaazy I tell you at school.

Our mega day of Field Trips on Friday went off without any major existential problems, which is good because I am filling in for my collegue on maternity leave, good ol' Miss Carrière, and she is awesome in the planning of such school-wide events. I try my best to make sure things go smoothly, delegate various tasks (thank you Sasha!) and organise fun activities without breaking down in tears in a massive anxiety attack. Sasha took care of that, without the crying though. She'd be more likely to pound the living crap out of whoever is pissing her off...

I got the proverbial "props" from my principal, Angela; once in our staff meeting and again in a personal thank you card. She's great, she gave me a truck-load of support and I can't thank her enough.

If I get permission from the right people (aka parents), I will put up pics of the Sports day and Comfy feet day we had on Wednesday and Thursday. Note to self: wearing "Da Craw" slippers at school is bad if one expects ones feet to be comfy... I was dying, my feet were in some kind of airtight sauna that ressembled fuzzy feet in sandals. Next year, I'm going for flipflops.

Hopefully things will die down from now until June. I have to finalize details for grad and plan one last fundraiser, just because I love giving myself work. I'm slightly neurotic that way.

My conference is in 2 weeks... must..... start....practicing.... any volunteers to listen to me ramble on in French. Oh wait, must of you do that already.
