I've noticed that I mostly complain on this blog instead of actually describing what I am in in France to do.
But it's my blog so I can write what I want.
(but please keep reading! and commenting! lurve comments! they make me feel less lonely and depressed)
So I got a bunch of pictures about winter and Christmas in Canada. And Channukah and Kwanza obviously. I'm nervous that I forgot some sort of ethnic holiday since I have only been around white people for the past 2 months.
I made them a slide show of
children in snowsuits
red Starbucks cups,
Tim Hortons roll-up-the-rim-to-win cups,
Christmas trees, the Ottawa canal, how busy Yorkdale is.
It didn't even make me homesick! Except for the snowsuits...
damn I wish I could wear snow pants and not look like an idiot.
There was this guy in university (shot out-you know who you are) who used to bike to school in bright yellow rain pants from Mountain Co-op, and I was always a little jealous.
Neways, so yes that is basically how I "teach". I showed pictures. And then I wrote the words on the board. Hard shit.
2 classes tomorrow are cancelled. Yay. More free time to accomplish nothing.
The less I do the less I am motivated to do.
I miss ice coffee.
I think I will go to Paris next weekend to buy some. Is anyone else going to be there?
When are you moving to your new, funner, less depressing town?? These entries are hilarious but no one should have to watch 2 seasons of the office unless they are procrastinating from essays, not from life!!!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmm winter coffees.
I think in Jan...
ReplyDeleteBut I'm going back home for Christmas, and until then I am going to try and spend every weekend in Paris or another French town.
I'm going to think of it as just equaling the higher rent I would have spent had I moved in Dec.
Hey! I'm an assistant too and found your blog through the forum. I totally understand what you mean about classes being cancelled and having even more time to do nothing. I'm used to working crazy hours and now, with 7 hours a week of teaching (because, inevitably, profs cancel my classes...) and living in a town of 3,000 I'm feeling copmletely depressed and unmotivated.
ReplyDeleteBonne chance!
