I had a great end to my long weekend, I spent the day at the Ocean, an estuary and a wetland planning my grade 8 camping trip! It’s a Science trip, so I have to establish some labs and interesting things like that. The weather wasn’t the greatest, but I still managed to get a tan!
It was really peaceful, and I am glad I had the chance to do it!

I think Miranda is pure comical genius!

It’s been a while since I’ve played 5 soccer games in a day, and my body is being reminded of that right now!
In the end we finished 3rd, which was great considering I hadn’t met more than 75% of the people on the team before and had no idea how they played.
I hope this because an annual thing, because it was a tonne of fun - even if I was playing against a handful of my students who play club soccer!
It took a while before I found this community in Chilliwack, but now that I’ve found it, I am so grateful!
Today is a charity event for Big Brothers (not the TV show) and it consists of a HUGE soccer game and with a fairly large crowd!
Kind of makes me nervous, been a while since I played this level of soccer, I am sure it will be fine, I just don’t want to embarrass myself!!
The band consisted of 4 cute men around my age and for most of the show the Grade 9 girls were just giving me the eyebrows and at the end they came running up to me and said “Ms. Collins those boys are really cute.”
I rolled my eyes and walked away.
Oye Vay!
When a student tells me I look beautiful!
I can tell when I am stressed because I waste my time doing EVERYTHING that is not important!
Take for instance this photo collage of what Monday’s feel like.
I am about a 3.5 on this scale today!
Lettuce wraps for #dinner. Here’s to experimenting in the kitchen!
This is not what being young is all about, I am sad that this is the message we are portraying to our youth.
Sex. Drugs. Alcohol.
What ever happened to staying up late playing guitar band, cow tipping and getting sugar rushes off of slurpees at 3am?

Done my supervision of 12-3am!!!!!
Played real life slender, dodgeball, spoons, Halo 4 and just sat around talking with students.
It was a neat experience, but I look forward to when I don’t get the shittiest shift!!
my school is really bad at communication and my colleague informed me today that next week I don’t have my 7’s for 3 days because they are at a softball tournament, ultimate frisbee tournament and track meet. He sort of told me non-chalantly and I kind of was like “whaaaat, are you kidding me?” and he looked puzzled and I was like “it’s the end of the year! I need every Math and Science class I can get!!” (that is my version of getting mad at someone!). Then I found out that my Grade 8’s are writing a cross-canada exam tomorrow that no one told me about. Apparently the principal agreed to write it and the booklets have been in our school for almost a month… but did anyone bother to tell me anything about this?!? NOPE!!
I felt bad for getting mad at my colleague. I am generally pretty even keeled. I apologized to him in the afternoon, he said he was kind of confused because he has never seen me act like that before.
Sometimes I just get frustrated because people seem to think that because I am so ‘flexible’ they don’t need to tell me things. But it just adds stress to an already stressful first year!!
*Sigh*
