Time flies

Wow.

Summer is gone, and I'm sitting in my brand new classroom, 15 hours closer to Montreal this time.

I'll be honest; in the last week or two, I have actually found myself missing the North. I miss black spruce trees, a house with a view and space around it, I miss tides, and Rupert Bay sunsets, and real rivers with real rapids. I also miss my sec 5 students. The smell is much better in Waska than in Laval.

Enough of that!
I'd love to claim that my summer was full of adventures and triumphs and such, but so is not the case. Coming home, after living in such a small bubble, both in the metaphorical and physical sense, I found my comfort zone to be much smaller, geographically, until I took off to Toronto for vacation. Slow to start, but quick to finish, I guess, can best describe the season. Get your mind out of the gutters....



On a personal front, well.... I'm somewhat retarded when it comes to certain situations. Retarded as in slow. Possibly mentally handicapped. Had I the guts, I'd make some dramatic gesture to set things straight about where I stand/feel re: someone. I am, however, much more of a chicken.

My souvenir of the North has grown expontentially but has stopped chewing (Kito, not a tamarack goose).

Ok, back to lesson planning.
