    This layout was made totally by me, but I obviously didn't draw the picture. That'd probably be Yazawa Ai, creator of NANA. Featured in this layout is none other than Osaki Nana herself. The image can be found in the NANA 1st Illustrations art book. The layout was made in Adobe Photoshop 7.0. The font is just Impact, which came with my computer. :P And, of course, this blog is powered by the omnipotent WordPress. <3 It is strongly recommended that you view this page in the latest version of FireFox. I use PNG-24 format, so if the image transparency looks all messed up, it's your own fault.

    So I'm blogging.

    I just finished marking quizzes that I gave my students on Friday. That took forever. It's also a rude awakening to see the wide range of marks. Everything from 25% to 90%. And students who you don't expect to do well (or to do poorly) can surprise you as well.

    You'll have to forgive me if I don't make too many updates about teaching, and stuff. As part of my practicum, I'm required to keep a daily reflective journal, so I'm often not in the mood to regurgitate that stuff on here. Needless to say, I'm doing actual teaching now. I really got lucky where every unit in all the classes I'm in are doing something related to Biology. Even Health… they're doing Sex Ed. Yeah, that was an experience. My teacher taught that one. I didn't complain.

    Next month I'm going on a trip. I've decided, and I have the funds to do so. At least I think I will. I haven't been in the best financial situation since last summer, but I will make this work if it kills me. I miss my boy way too much. -_- And I am still trying to figure out how to get to Phoenix at some point, too. I'd love to do the same kind of thing I did last summer. One way flight to Toronto, one way flight to Phoenix, one way flight back to Edmonton. I think I can afford that, but I want to bring Zanth with me to Phoenix really bad. It's still uncertain whether he can make that happen.

    Anyway, I'll leave it at that today. I ordered pizza and I have to eat it now. Lately I've been craving pig, so I ordered pig pizza (ham and bacon toppings). Yum. >;9

    P.S. I just received an amusing email with the "Increase your copulation organ" as the subject. Just thought I'd share. :D

    April Fools. :P As if I'd shut down this blog. Lbeth, alright, you do use LJ quite a bit. I'd understand if you wanted to shut down some of your sites and and stuff. But no way am I giving up this place. XD

    Hmm, maybe I should actually do an update of some kind? There isn't much to say. I can summarize it easily. I'm well into student teaching now. My last day is the 25th. The kids are brats, as expected, but that comes with the territory. I find it interesting how I've become really comfortable telling kids what to do. It's getting so bad that I have to seriously restrain myself from telling kids to smarten up on the bus. Next week is going to be interesting, as I fully take over the grade sevens. And I have bigwigs coming in to observe me for the first time. The kids are on spring break now (which means I am too! wee~) and they had a sub all last week. It's going to be a real challenge picking up the pieces on Monday. x.x

    And finally, I just want Lbeth to know that I started doing something a couple days ago that she's going to be very pleased with. Something I'm not proud of whatsoever, and I know I'm going to be made fun of it. Unendingly. I'll just leave it at that because I have no doubt she knows exactly what I'm talking about.

    I didn't even make a blog post in the month of March. I'm thinking of shutting this blog down.
