Ok, ticket prices...plummet now!

Nothing has changed, in terms of ticket prices...and it seems it's been a month now since I started checking. I have a bad feeling things will only go up from here.

What to do? Buy now? I still remain hopeful.

Wishful thinking?

Time will tell.

Here comes the sun, little darling

...but back here in Canada, it's still pretty frickin' cold. The students had indoor recesses ALL DAY. You know what that means. Yeah. Hyper doesn't begin to describe it.

At least it's already mid-February. I know, I know. I shouldn't wish my life away, but dammit, I am a person of light and warmth. I can't believe my former Spanish roommates are enjoying 19 degrees right now...while I am on the complete opposite of that thermometer.

At least the days are getting longer! :) Oh, and one more week until we get to enjoy our jacuzzi...ahhh, that will be sweet.

Incidentally, if you're asking, no. The ticket prices still haven't budged. They are still sitting pretty at 995 dollars...meh. Not bad, not great. I'm inclined to wait some more. I've signed up for travel alerts, so let's see what they can tell me.

Work is going well...busy and tiring at times, but good. I love what I do. You have your good days and bad days, but the good usually wins over. Overall, I have nice kids at my school. I feel pretty lucky.

Tomorrow the students are having their Valentine's Day dance...and this time, instead of supervising in the gym, I'll be supervising the detention room. Fun stuff! Wonder who will be in there...for the Christmas Dance, there wasn't a detention room, so I wonder how many kids got in trouble, or whatnot.

I should be doing some marking...but I'm a wee bit tired and a tad lazy. Oh, well...I think I deserve a nice off night with music and blogging. I've been pretty good with going to bed early this past week...and no napping! Yikes. It's hard. The chiquita in me really loves a good siesta.

March Break is only in a month. Ottawa, here we come! Can't wait to see Cyn again...it'll only be for a day, but it'll be worth it! Hopefully we'll be able to skate on the canal by then...guess we'll see.

Ok, that's it for me right now,

February is FINALLY here. What better way to start this month than with a snow day! No work on a Wednesday is a-ok with me...

It's unbelievable how much snow we have been getting over here. Makes me count the days until I'm back in Spain even more. I was chatting with an old Spanish roommate of mine from Huelva, and he was telling me how they were dying of cold over there with -3 degree temperatures.

Ha. I've forgotten what that feels like. Anyone care for some -28 degree temperatures? Why am I here, again?

Oh, yeah. I've got a good teaching job, a nice house, a good boyfriend..yaddah yaddah yaddah. Let me dream of warmer, sunnier places anyway.

Today I watched the movie Groundhog Day, with Bill Murray. What a great movie, so well written and acted. I can't believe that I had never seen this movie before. I missed out! It must have been hard filming some of those scenes over and over again...

This month will hopefully be a lot less painful. I'm doing a short Carnaval unit with my students, there's Family Day up ahead and our hotel with jacuzzi to look forward to. I'm also hoping that my report cards are alright and that my principal won't send them back to me, with a million corrections.

We are supposed to get more cold, snowy days up ahead...not enough to warrant anymore snow days for quite some time, but just enough to get annoyed by it all. You know what I mean. Those 3-5 cm or 5-10 cm snowy days, where you have to shovel a lot and get up extra early to clear your car...yeah, those. Yucky.

Oh, well. I have some outdoor activities planned for my students for the Quebec Carnaval celebrations. I'm planning on having them play outside tomorrow, but it looks like it will be bitterly cold in the a.m.=-23 degrees. Ick. I might just be able to take my afternoon classes outside. The morning ones will have to wait until it gets a bit warmer again. Such is the wintertime!

At least it'll be sunny tomorrow. Ah, the sun...

Ticket prices are still 995 bucks. Are they ever going to budge? Yeah, probably...but most likely upwards. Something tells me I'll be getting my ticket this month. One can't wait too long before prices skyrocket.

Hasta luego amigos,

H.
