I got a random message on facebook today from a dude in Israel (that I don't know - just for the record). It said " Hey there. i'm a great fan of hers. do you study literature?". Yeah. Weird. If you missed the 'hers' part I'm assuming he means my more -talented-and-famous-and-dead namesake. Or am I her namesake? ANYWHO. It's odd.

My brain is mush with math. Little kid math though.

Cannot wait until Christmas break. Only a week today. I think that's even scarier because I have so much to do in that week. Enough bitching.

What no new Gilmore Girls tonight?????

I think I'm going to start putting up work on the fridge again. I remember how proud I used to be when one of my drawings or stories or math worksheets got to go up, and I liked that. One good thing about being back in high school *ahem* I mean teachers college *ahem* is all the great comments that get written on my work. In uni, if the prof wrote a comment, it was usually brief and not legible and something that could be classified as 'constructive criticism'. However, here I am getting all these happy, self-esteem boosting comments. It's great. Stupid that it makes me smile but still. It's the brown-noser from days past in my I suppose. It's like the teachers are trying to make us forget how hard university was and just give us a lot of praise so we'll pass it on to our kids. The other day it was 'you should be proud of this work'. Today's sticky note that is going up is "Wow!!! This is great writing, Emily!!". And I didn't embellish any of those exclamation points.

By the way Jess, I think the idea of a shared journal (yes like the traveling pants) is a great idea. We had that sort of a concept at one of the flats I lived at, we all had access to it and everyone coming and going (which were a lot of people) wrote in it whenever they pleased. There were some great stories in there.

So I switched seasons within four hours Sunday. So nice and warm in the G-spot (tee hee) and then up here in the Bay it's full out winter. Oi. Beautiful though, the snow is just lovely. Cold not as lovely. But I am getting a fancy shmancy winter coat soon so huzzah to that!

Life goes on as usual. Just finished my placement with the little grade 1/2's. Glad that was over just because I was so tired. Had fun though. Some of my kids cried when I left the school. Just got my placement for February and turns out I'm in the same school. Not pleased with that at all. It's such a small community and not at all a real school experience. Grr. Going to write an angry letter to the practice teaching office.

Moving on. Cannot wait until Christmas holidays. Apparently there will be ice fishing, and snowmobiling and skating on the canal and beaver tails. Mmm mmm.

Oi my life is so boring. Ha ha. I have not had any lesbian dreams (at least lately). I have not drank on a Monday night in a very long time. Sorry Jess. I could go on and on about how excited I am for my new adventure but it is too far away right now to start ranting about it.

I miss my kittycat today. I had a dream about kitties last night. They were so soft and fluffy and it's sort of pathetic I dream about kitties.
