| Hello Xangarians,
I don't know if anyone checks or uses Xanga anymore. I know Mildred you still post! Good on you! But the other night I was just reading on some of my old blogs. I got so nostalgic, it was such an awesome feeling! But not as awesome as how God has totally blessed me!
So for those who don't know, I just finished Teachers College up at Nipissing University. I have been looking for a teaching job within a school board - anywhere from T.O. to Windsor. And supposedly, you're supposed to sign up on this website and apply to all the school boards you want within this website, and IF they school board is looking for a teacher, they will access this website and contact you. So I did that, just apply and let me resume sit there on file just waiting/hoping/praying to be picked up by a school board. Months passed, nothing...I see job openings, I apply. No success.
Finally, just a couple of weeks ago, I got called in for an interview to be on the occasional teacher list for the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board! I prepared well for the interview, and thought I did just an alright job at the answering questions. A few days later (last Friday) I get a call at around 4 PM from HWDSB
notifying me that I was a successful candidate for the job!
During the interview, however, they asked me who recommended me for an interview for the HWDSB. I told them that I did not know anyone working for the school board. They were very confused and puzzled. I told them I just applied on the "Apply to Education" website, they were very surprised that that website actually worked! So I am very much so convinced that God had answered all the prayers that have been said regarding my job search! So thank you all who have been praying for me and my job search!
It's not a full time position or anything, but it's a start. We'll see what else God has planned for me!

| So I'm back in North Bay...
There's so much snow! I left Sunday after church. It snowed so much Saturday night. I had to wake up early to shovel the driveway! It was pretty heavy snow too, I was so tired for church! Hahaha! Sunday started to rain, they said there was a freezing rain warning. I was pretty scared about my 4 hour drive up north!
But after church, I started my car, and off I went! As I was driving along the 403, there were so many cars in ditches and such! Scary! I was very attentative behind the wheel the whole four hours up! Though they were the most tiring four hours of driving! Changing lanes with the snow in the middle of the road...scary!
So when I get into North Bay, I get settled back in, and head to bed. Next morning (Today) I go out to my car, and there's like 30 cm's of snow! I had to dig my car out of the snow to get out of the parking lot! It was crazy! And it was so cold too! Wow! I'm not going to be getting used to this...weather network says there's going to be more snow on the way!! Dang...

| Hey everyone,
Well, a few months back, I was bored sitting in my room in North Bay. So I decided to visit http://www.addictinggames.com. As I was scrolling down, something caught my eye. It wasn't an icon of a picture, it was the word, "Quiz". Hmmm...you might ask why the word QUIZ catches my eye? I love doing small/long quizzes, they are fun! No matter what the topic is! But what made this QUIZ so unique was it was entitled, "The Impossible Quiz II" I was like, what the heck is this all about?! And why is it in the Addicting Games website? So I clicked on it, and it was the most weirdest thing...I started hearing "The Go! Team" I thought it was my Winamp was playing it, but it was the Quiz. And so I followed the instructions (weird instructions), and started the quiz! It's quite interesting! And if you are bored, I would like to share this "game" with you! After I gave up on the quiz, I thought to myself, what the first one was like. So I Googled, "Impossible Quiz", and it showed up! So I was determined to beat it! So went through the quiz...it's kinda tricky. If you play it, you'll know what I mean...anyways, here are the links to the sites if you guys are interested! Play, it's fun!

| Hello all you Xangarians who still read/check/use Xanga!
It's been a while since my last post! So why not break that hiatus and post a blog!? So I've been Practice teaching at a high school for 4.5 weeks now in total. It's been a great experience, it felt really weird to be in a high school again, but after the first week, it really brought back memories of when I was in high school! All the kids are immature; girls gossip, boys act tough. Nothing has changed. Though there is a new trend of kids in high school that people label as "emo". To be honest with you, there weren't too many emo kids that I saw in my school (probably becuase they're all hiding under the stairs or washroom in the dark?? Hahaha...jusk kidding..).
Anyways, so when I started teaching, it was pretty fun! Getting up in front of the class teaching, writing on the chalk board, doing examples, all that teacher fun stuff! I've built a pretty good rapport with the kids, it's pretty neat to interact with them, you can learn a lot from your student's it's true!
Let's see, what else is there going on? So this weekend I'll be going to Windsor! It's always great to go back there! Visit Christine and friends and WCAC! Good times always! And this week 180 is playing MY CLUE GAME! Woohoo! Who would've thought that that game would make a second appearance?! But I'm totally excited for it!
Anyways, today my grade 12 Data Management class wrote a test today, which means I have to do a bunch of marking tonight...so I should get to it! So I will leave this be here. Have a good day! Bye-bye!
