| i'm becoming pretty impulsive when it comes to buying things.. i'm soooo close to splurging on a $500 acoustic electric guitar (yamaha CPX 500). it's so pretty and according to the reviews, they're well worth its value when it comes to quality and sound. do i need a new guitar? well.. no.. but it doesn't hurt to have a BETTER one!  gah.. look at it tho! i can stare at it all day long... *sigh*

| i'll be completely stressed out.. at the end of my rope.. but all i have to do is look at this little guy and i'll immediately feel better.. even if it's only for a bit. and boy, do i need a picker upper right now.. it's just been one of those crappy ass days. don't even have the energy/mood to go into it right now.. what i need is to crawl into my poofy, comfy duvet, grab a book and try to get my mind off things.

| reading the comments on the tor star article regarding the on-going negotiations between TDSB and OSSTF is infuriating. ignorant individuals posting comments about a profession they know nothing about should shut their pie hole.
"Its funny that people old arguments about teachers and how their job is easy and that they are greedy and selfish. A teacher doesn't just teach from 9-3 and then have holidays. A teacher is also a coach that comes in at 7 in the morning and a tutor or mentor that stays until 7 at night. A teacher brings marking and lesson planning home every night to better the class for the next day. A teacher has to make lessons creative and exciting whilst using a very limited budget, one that cannot pay for textbooks or computers. A teacher takes courses and prepares during the summer for the following year. A TDSB teacher accepts a lower salary and less benefits than other boards in Ontario, to be exempt from supervision duties. The teachers that fulfill their role would find it easier to work in the "real world," where work stays at work, where they don't have to coerce those they work to work and aren't innundated with criticism from people who don't have a clue about teaching."
couldn't have said it better myself. | | |
| hello christmas holidays. 2 weeks.. yes. yes. yes. so somehow this year, it doesn't feel v. christmas-y. don't know what it is.. maybe i've been too busy to really get in the mood.. in any case, i'm just happy to have time off. what shall i do with all this free time on my hands? a couple of nights ago, i went to my colleague's place for a holiday party.. she lives in this beautiful loft with her bf downtown. made me realize how much i want to live downtown.. in a loft specifically. haha i love the whole idea of loft-style living.. and i'm definitely missing the convenience of having the grocery store, restaurants, everything a few steps away. now that i'm finally finished paying off the car, i can start saving for a place. it's kind of exciting thinking about it.. :) okay i should probably stop procrastinating and get the rest of my marking done so i can sleep at a reasonable hour. later. | | |
| when did i start acting so old? seriously.. work just sucks the life out of me it seems. most of the time i'm working.. and when i'm not working, i'm so tired that all i want to do is sleep.. or do something really low-key like watch tv.. or any other activity that does not involve expending a lot of energy. going out on a friday night? no thanks. i'm too tired for that. shit.. friday night for instance.. peter and i went to watch a movie.. and even then i was close to falling asleep at the theatre. same thing saturday night when i went out for dinner w/ friends.. and it was the first time i had seen my friends in what, like a month? i really miss having a life.. and having the energy to have a life. man, it's just so pathetic. | | |
