Monday I enjoyed my second snow day ever. I always thought that phone calls at 5:30am could only bring bad news, but as it turns out, they can also bring very good news. Not having slept well Sunday night, I was particularly happy about being able to stay in bed all morning. Part of me wanted to pack up my bag and head for the mountains- another part of me realized that since I hate winter, most of me is throughly unprepared for a good snow day. I don't own a toboggan or a pair of skis, or even skates for that matter. And what I've come to call a mountain is little more than a hill with a T-bar. Even if I owned skis, that would have made for about ten seconds of excitement.
Sadly I haven't posted lately because I have nothing new to report. It seems substitute teaching is in full swing now- I look forward to my weekdays off, only to see them quickly snatched up one by one. Which is a good thing, I guess. In January I'll be starting my Bachelor of Social Work at the University of Victoria through online studies. It seems like a perfect match. Three years at Bishop Carroll High School taught me to loathe sitting in a classroom, so this seems like the perfect way around two years in a cold, dark and dingy classroom with eight hundred other people. I know what it's like. I took a class once. The 8am Psych 200 class at University of Calgary. I think I lasted three weeks. After successfully falling asleep in an exam worth 25% of my grade, I decided to drop out while I was ahead. A W on my transcripts qualifies as ahead in this case. I wish the person sitting next to me had woken me up. I mean, I fell asleep on the guy's shoulder, it's not like he didn't notice.
Hopefully more news soon... although winter usually makes me want to lounge about on my new couch enjoying our 148 satellite channels (10 of which are CTV, 8 of which are CBC and 6 of these are Global). At least I'm sure never to miss House again- we get it in five different time zones.
