A week of prac and Halloween

I had an awesome week of prac! This week my theme was the winter Olympics. We had an opening ceremony, lessons on hockey, bobsled, skiing/snowboarding, mascots, paralympics and medals. They all went pretty well (expectations can't be terribly high).

I also planned and implemented a week of reading groups and a few maths lessons. Did more teaching than my prac teachers! (Jenni and Tracey)

I also managed 7.5 hours of training (hopefully more this week). Did 1 hour of cycling on Monday and increased that by 15 minutes each morning til I was at 2 hours by Friday morning.

Yesterday was Halloween. There was a party at a "Canadian" house but I'm happy to say that Jared, Julia and I WEREN'T there. :) Not a fan of most of these Canadians that are here, they're friggin' weiners and it's scary that some of 'em are going to be teachers. Not people I want to socialize with. We had a great day though yesterday nonetheless.

I did 3 hours of cycling immediately followed by a 30 minute run. Ate and then Jared came over and we went out to the beach for 2:30 - 4. Crashed some MAJOR huge waves which was a blast then just chilled out on the beach tannin' up. Nice and relaxing! The awesome weather is finally back. After that we came home, met up with Tune and the three of us left here at about 5ish, walked down to Jared's to pick up a couple DVDs and then walked around North beach and the Harbour for a bit and then eventually up to a Pizza place called "Crust". They have UNBELIEVABLE pizzas. We each had a medium (kinda like a small back home). Mine had lamb, bocconcini cheese, veggies etc... awesome. We took them back down to South beach and ate 'em down there as it got dark. We finally got back home at about 8:15PM and just chilled out and watched a couple of SNL DVDs that Jerry picked up for $5 each at the Reject Shop. I started passing out at about 9:30 and was out by 10PM. Slept in til 5:30AM and looking forward to a similar day today! Except less outside stuff unfortunately, as I have a tono f planning to do for this week, otherwise I'll be killing myself every night after school. I'm going to go for a 2.5 horu run this morning and an hour on the bike, then maybe hit the beach til early/mid afternoon but then it's pure planning stuff for the rest of the day. This week's theme is famous Canadians. :) I think tomorrow I'll do a lesson on theinteractive whiteboard, introducing Ray and showing some videos of him.

OK, gotta get this party started! Summer is here! It's 6:30AM and SUUUUUUNNNNNNYYYYY!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
