hmmm

so today was the second day of school. the first day of school we were in the college roaming around in partners, one under blindfold and the other guiding/teaching. it was a good shock. was nervous about teaching in front of others but it comes back naturally so it's no big deal. because i just finished my masters, i’m catching on faster which is not to say that i don't struggle at times but i'm hoping the other students don't feel resentful of it, you know. i'm trying to keep my big yaps shut but i do ask a lot of questions. dumb one sometimes, i'm one of those. (roll of eyes) today we were actually on site in the blind school. it's huge and it's so amazing to see so many students with visual impairments in one place and they're so independent.

we work in groups of four and it's really neat because we can criticize and thank God that we all get along right now. it's only day two, right? we have 2 O&M instrutors that are going to share teach the group and it's slow going because for each new skill one person teaches on a partner and everyone else is just standing around and watching. but like they say repetition is good. we have to do these daily journals and they're a pain. augh. hate it. i actually have homework everyday and for sure i cannot or rather i'm going to try really really hard not to fall behind.

every thursday, i'm going to head into toronto for a field trip. whee. not looking forward to finding someone to commute with. boo. i'm sure it'll workout though. we find out all the information tomorrow at the college. the people seem nice and i'm getting along with most everyone. the family is great. it was awkward at first sitting at the dinner table but the kids are starting to warm up so things are good. other than that, i'm sleeping late and waking early. the bus system here is atrocious. it really does stink. in order to make any connection, you have to go back to the terminal. so it's not so cool that they only come into my cul-de-sac at the top of each hour so that means if i need to get somewhere i can only leave the house once every hour. suckeroonis. but i don't have many places to go right now but school and i haven't figured the other routes for the malls. i'm sure they'll be plenty fo time for that.

fingers crossed.

better get back to those silly journals. boo.
