No free trip to Japan!
I don't know if you heard that Japan was planning on offering 10,000 bloggers free return airfare to Japan. I would have blogged my heart out for that!
Ends up I'll have to work to earn money to free over there.. if I ever go. But I guess that doesn't eliminate the chance for me to teach ESL overseas to make a large amount of money and maybe do some traveling at the same time.
I have a couple friends go to the Teachers' Overseas Recruiting Fair. I chatting with one and she said it was good and hopes good things come of it. I hope she grabbed a few interesting things to pass along. I wonder why U of O can't do something like this? Maybe they are too busy doing something else with our money.. Well that doesn't make sense because the fair is $125 a person, and they only allow a certain number of people.. lets put the cap at 300 people and it's $125 for a two day pass. That would be $37,500. Geez, I should contact the Queens people and see about organizing it here in Ottawa!
Stay tune for more reasonable outlooks at real life!

Classes.
So you might be wondering what classes I'm taking. I have a senior physics and senior chemistry. And the practicum class the same as last term. I'm also taking a mandatory class about learning processes, it's ok. We are learning how people learn.
Then I'm taking a couple electives, the first one I chose right away was the tech class, and then I chose a second language learning class. So far I love the tech class with all the blogging and twitting and google apping..

New School work!
So I haven't been on here for like four months. Lots of things have changed in the past four months.
I have started my B.Ed. and it's fun.
I did my placement in a school in the West end of Ottawa, and I had a great teacher mentor. She did her master's in geophysics at Carleton.
I was teaching grade 10 science and grade 11 physics. the students were fun!
I am also 'working' at Minto Suite Hotel.
Ok thats enough for now.. I will try to add more every week.
