Well, unfortunately I missed blogging for weeks 4-8 of my placement. It just flew by and now I am starting classes again tomorrow! I have two months of coursework and then I will be off to Edmonton for my second placement. I really can't believe how quickly this is flying by. I will really miss the kids at my placement sites, but it will be nice to get back into the classroom and see my classmates etc. As well, I will not miss the LONG commute everyday! It will be nice to be only a 20 minute walk from school.
Knowing that this weekend would be the last days that I will be able to relax for the next long while, I spent it watching documentaries and laying out in the sun at a nearby park. Although it didn't seem really hot here today I still managed to get a little sunburn and now I am regretting my choice to read in the sun! Oh yeah, I also spent a little time shopping...one of my favorite activities! I finally graduated to shopping at Eaton Centre. When I first moved here I couldn't shop there since it was so huge and intimidating to navigate. I have finally started to find my way around there now!
What else is new? I have really been reading up on "living green" practices and am trying to implement them one at a time. My new motto is, "If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem". After all, I really could stand to have my children asking me why I didn't do anything to help protect the environment sooner. I have been obsessed with following John Baird's new "green plan" My comment: what a load of crap! I noticed on the news that Albertan politicians are still opposing the watered-down plan. When will people wake up and realize that the economy will be nothing if there is no earth to live on. It is not even a question of which way to go...
Anyways, my recommends for documentaries are:
1. Who killed the electric car?
2. A crude awakening
3. An inconvenient truth
Also, I will be starting dragon boating tomorrow. We have our first practice after school, so that should be fun. I will post more on that later.
Well that was a random sampling of the parts of my life I have been meaning to blog about for the past little while. I hope you enjoyed it!

One year and a half ago, I packed up my belongings and moved across the country to complete my Master's degree and become a Speech-Language Pathologist. Welcome the the life of a Grad student!
