A quiet day so far. I can't believe how tired I was yesterday! Slept in till well beyond what I normally sleep. But that's okay. I'll be sure to stay out extra late, you know, just to balance things out. It works that way, right?

Today we went to the horticulture program at Algonquin College for my Math and Sciences for Young Children class. The idea was to just explore the area, think about what we enjoyed and what attracts us there. The idea being the activity being there is a lot of science there, and stuff we can learn first hand without the teacher coming with us and saying "okay, now we're going to talk about fish and squirrels and bees and trees and cats". So, here are the things that caught my eye today.

A cold, wet and rainy day. And means a lot coming from me who loves cold, wet and rainy days. A good day though. Started a new night class, worked the community outreach playgroup thing in the morning, worked in the kindergarten room in the afternoon, picked up about 2 weeks worth of shifts for November/December at the daycare. A productive day, despite the cold and wet and rainy.

First night class of the semester! I'm with a lot of people I know, which I suppose is only expected when you take classes for about 2 years. Gives me a nice balance compared to the day program where I know no one. The teacher also gave us candy, which is an excellent start.

I know, you're probably getting sick of pictures of flowers. Well, flower season is almost done. It's getting colder (slowly) and soon we'll be craving some colour other than grey and white and black. I've barely seen any bugs, sort of surprised to see these bees still kicking around.

Felt rather sick all day. I don't know what it was, but just.. tired and sick. I didn't really notice how sick I sounded till I tried to talk in class. All I could think was "Holy Cow, is that what I sound like?". After an afternoon of sleeping things were better.

I got hit by a cold today. Not as bad as I've had them before, but still enough to knock me down for a little while. I am happy to say though that this is the first time I've been sick a good long while! Normally I'm like the canary in the coal mines.

The day started off big and promising. Went to see the Rideau Falls, saw a ton of Canadian geese behind old city hall, went to buy some new shoes (my old ones were making breathing sounds when I walked around), went out to dinner with friends, blah blah blah. Started to get sick near the end, so no Orpheus stuff for last night. Sadly the sick feeling followed me into the next day.

Finished my first week of being a day student. Maybe it's because all the people I've been doing classes with the past couple of years are older, but man do these people talk a lot. Like, all the time. Even when the teacher is talking. You'd think they'd know that means you shush up and listen. I mean common people, this isn't high school.

A very busy day. Worked outreach in the morning, go home for a half an hour then off to the daycare to do a shift! It was surprisingly fast though. The day I mean. It didn't seem to drag on, in fact it went by very very quickly. Won't be able to do that again for a while, next Wednesday I start my night classes. I do the playgroup outreach thing again next Thursday. Set up, watch it go, and tear it down!
