In the area near our school, there are often banners posted to advertise all sorts of businesses and events. Sometimes, a limited amount of English is used - and sometimes, it comes off as kiiiiind of inappropriate. On this particular sign pictured, the only words us foreign-folks can pick up are 'Beautiful Girl', 'Nobody', 'U go girl', and 'Eat you up!'.Maybe my mind just ends up in the gutter too easily.
This week has been incredibly dull. All in all, this semester, I only teach 4 elementary-school-level classes (down from 10). I've held on to both my adult classes, thankfully, but I still have 6 free-periods in total. What do I do during that time?
Absolutely nothing. I've gone looking for work, but this early in the semester, there isn't much to do. The most productive thing i've really been doing has been to walk around, observing how other people teach their classes (trying to pick up a few pointers - it doesn't hurt!). The rest of the time, well.. thank goodness for the internet.
As for the four-classes, they all seem pretty well-behaved (with the exception of three or four kids), so i'm looking forward to teaching them. It should be a boring, but breezy semester.
Have a good one!

Tu devrais lire dans tes temps libres. Je lis pendant environ sept heures par jour ces temps-ci et c'est plaisant.
bonne journée
Salut Émilie,
Malheureusement, il n'y a pas grand chose que je peut lire ici (la littérature est pas mal limitée, même en anglais). Est-ce que tu as quelque-chose à suggérer sur l'Internet?

Hi Alex,
How about starting a school newspaper. Invite the kids and adults to express their English writing skills, personal thoughts or even - Questions to Canadians?
Just a thought!
Luv ya...
