Well here's a post because for some reason Jess requested some information regarding my boobs. Alright... I'll take whatever requests I can get. Ha ha. That information will come later though.

As you can see from the picture (which hopefully loads on this very slow Nipissing wireless - that's my back you see) I had a great weekend of playing and adventuring and trying new things. I was sworn to secrecy about some aspects of the weekend (not that anyone reading this blog is actually in my class) but it was an amazing weekend. I love how no matter how many times I repeat an outdoor ed activity, I still learn new things. Plus I picked up a few new games and cool ideas for make-your-own outdoor ed resources.

Back to reality though and the endless busy work that seems to be teachers college. It's really just like high school - they take attendance and all that jazz. Plus there is tons of homework. I think I'll soon adjust to all the work though. However I'm going on day 7 of school in this building and day 7 of a headache. Every single day I've been in the building I've had one. And nothing on the weekends. Must be allergic to this place.

Oh and for Jess. On the weekend we were playing a game that I call 'hot chocolate river' (forget what name they used). Basically you have a set number of carpet pieces and have to make it across the 'lava' as a group without having anyone step into it. Anywho... I had one girl who I was in charge of (because she was blindfolded) and she kept grabbing at me when she needed to get her balance. We ended up hugging each other for most of the game. And on several occasions she kept grabbing my boobs (because she couldn't see and apparently they were at grabbing level). It was funny. We laughed and the teacher took incriminating photos.

Hmmm. Blogger doesn't like me click on the link that adds pictures. What's that all about?

Well I'm too exhausted to write much at the moment so I'll point form it.

- had a marvelous weekend in Ottawa (I did miss that city).
- did all sorts of exciting things such as Lusk caves (see picture below - yes I'm in a grimace but it was a hard picture to take). They were so freaking cool. We went exploring in really cold water and saw lots of cool cave related things. Such as fishes. And cave spiders. And rocks.

- went to a Scottish pub where not only did they NOT have Scottish music, they did not have good Scottish beer either. However some drunk guy did give us half of his pitcher.
- continued my streak of nerdy-ness by becoming attached to the show Battlestar Galactica (BSG).



Now I am back in the G-spot in my first week of teaching placement (not that I'm doing any teaching at the moment)
- I have never tied so many shoes in my life. Does no one use velcro anymore?
- Grade 1's are a lot smaller than I remember. Getting down to their level has given me an aching lower back.
- I wanting to steal two of the little girls - the one put her hand up on the first day and asked if she could sing a song to the class. It was about flowers and how they are pretty and how the loves them. It was so cute I almost peed my pants.
- It is hard to get back that 'inner child'. We did "movement" activities today and I felt like an absolute dork even though all the kids looked as silly as me. Also, in grade 1 and 2 you apparently sing to the kids for half of the day. I am currently humming a song and am about to dig my eyeballs out with a spoon because I'm so annoyed with myself.

All in all I am having a good week but am so tired I could fall pass out right now. I get to read a story tomorrow (even though we're not supposed to be teaching.. go me!) and it has the word Chrysanthemum in it perhaps 50 times. It's a hard word to say over and over again.

Also no kids have made fun of my ears yet. However, I have not worn my hair up yet. It is only a matter of time. Kids notice things like that. I remember one lovely boy at the Boyne asking "what's wrong with your ears?".
