end of week 3 & 4 [2nd term]

i’m late at this…perhaps i’m tiring of blogging again
or…maybe this isn’t what i want to be blogging about?
or…maybe i’m tried of school in every aspects? [sigh]
or…maybe i’m too busy?
or…maybe i hate this weather and can’t wait to move to hawaii?
or…yes, i think i will delink again. [done]

anyway
school: 1 month done
not 1 mark returned to show progress, etc
this truly burns my a$$
it really does
i find it so inconsiderate, unhelpful and simply W-R-O-N-G
i have to do something about it

i’ve been working on a few projects
a poster for highschool students…to entice them to come to college
a poster for the 3rd year exhibition
a website for snow boards
a business of my own - letterhead, etc.
i’m losing so much steam

i did go and see the sound of music
it was fantastic
i would see it again in a minute
:)

i want to go away for my reading week
san diego would be ideal
i’ll probably end up in NYC…for a couple of days
which is OK…but it’s so cold, i hate that…and i’ll be dependent upon the trains, etc.
life is so much more difficult without $

my father is still quite ill
i don’t know if i wrote about it much on here
he lost about 60 pounds last year
20 quite suddenly…and they discovered a growth on his thyroid
he’s also anaemic and they are looking into graves disease
i’m taking them to the dr’s on wed this week to get that biopsied
they’ve been about 10 x to the dr already…always a new specialist or procedure
what do you do when you’re 87…just roll over and die? nah…i guess not
so i lose out on a day of pay for supply teaching that day as well
i wish i just had more $ then i could take my parents’ every wed. somewhere

this week i also heard that my eldest sister is not well again
she had cervical cancer a few years ago
and was asked to get an mri done asap last week
this means she has to drive 5 hours to the nearest hospital that has one…so i guess she’s going some time this week
she’s not yet 60

my other sister and i were talking about my ’separation’ issues
it’s so pronounced with me
as a child all my siblings ‘went away’…i was left on my own
i hate the feeling of people leaving
thus, death is so difficult for me
even when other people lose loved ones…i go through all the angst of the possibility of my family members dying
dying: i wish people lived forever
logically i can see how that would never work
emotionally i can’t see how i can work through all that pain
another reason for me to not attach myself to too many people
too painful when they go

that’s another story

i have homework to do - as usual
i don’t want to leave it all to the last minute - as usual
i’ve got to turn that corner

    C ‘ est bizarre que ton école ne te donne aucune indication sur le niveau où tu te situes . Ce n ‘ est pas très pédagoqique ;
    Les nouvelles de ta famille ne sont pas très rassurantes ( ton père , ta soeuur ) . On ne peut que les aimer et les accompagner . C ‘ est ce que nous avons fait pour le père de Janine et pour notre belle-fille Marina . N ‘ y pense pas trop mais aime . L ‘ amour est éternel.
    Amitié à toi, Mamselle .

    tu es vraiment gentil et sage, mon ami - on ne peut rien faire sauf que les accompagner ici dans la vie - c’est tellement profond
    j’essaie de prendre ton avis…merci!
