highlights from october

i have so much to write, but i don't know where to start...ok here are a few hightlights from OcToBeR:

such a shame the music school went under...but DO NOT try to put blame on other people. ACCEPT THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS. after all the stress i finally established myself as private music teacher. i've been having a great time so far, i can finally focus on teaching music and nothing else. marco is home! went over to his place for dindin and met up w/ ppl from high school...we all still relatively look the same, then again as we get older our eyes get older too, so maybe we don't notice the changes as much. taking another wicked class at OISE/UT: Teaching Drama in the Senior Division. we get to take off our shoes and play for 3 1/2 hours...yet i'm learning an abundance of useful tools and strategies. i was also officially hired as a supply teacher with the York Region District School board. when ppl ask what i'm doing, and i tell them i'm supply teaching, they're always like "Oh really? Couldn't you get a full time position?" well, duh, but i didn't apply for a permanent position this year...supply teaching isn't such a bad job people!!! i'm mostly teaching music which i'm ecstatic about cuz i didn't get to teach music that much during ConEd...but i can teach math & language out of my ***. not to diss the other subjects, but i wish i had the opportunity to be in music classrooms...oh well...i'm trying to gain more experience, and get to know the different schools and basically shop around for my ultimate teaching placement for sept. 2004. i honestly didn't wanna grab the first contract offered to me and be miserable teaching core subjects. my goal is to be in a high school setting so that's why took my first additional qualification course at UofT just barely 3 weeks after graduating from York. plus, i'm also serving/bartenending @ Kelsey's 2-3 times a week and teaching privately 3-4 days a week. it's my "transition year". why do i feel like i have to justify what my decisions to other people? (sorry my highlights turned into a rant...)

take a deep breath...anyways...also went trick or treating w/ amanda the angel, alex the lady bug and ethan the wizard. had a blast w/ ly, ate agnes & rené...eating lots of chocolate...oops, i mean spending some nice quality time w/ my cousins and Godson. like they could have eaten all the candy, chocolate & chips anyways...the big kids are allowed their share of the goods!
