5 days

Only five more days left before Christmas vacation. I'm pretty pumped. It is unreal how fast the first part of the school year has gone by. I honestly feel like summer just ended a few weeks ago. A little of that has to do with how busy i am at work and how i sort of feel like i'm not getting enough done. Last night MJ and i started the evening by going to Peter's for an Xmas dinner/gift exchange. I got a puzzle. Of a tiger. A white one. With a frame. Thanks Peter. After that we went to Eric's to meet up with some people from work. The actual "staff" party was Friday night at some restaurant in New West. It was 50 bucks a person just for the food alone, so that would have run me 100 bucks to eat chicken souvlaki that i could have got at the food court for 6 bucks. Along with others we decided to skip that and Kim organized a little party at Eric's place. Good times were had. Aside from work friends there were some friends there that worked in Korea with us this summer. We played Cranium, and the guys won, natch. My parents are coming on Sunday, i'm pretty excited, i haven't seen them in over a year and a half. It doesn't seem like it has been that long because we talk so often. I get two weeks off that i'm looking forward to tremendously. I hope this week goes by super fast and that i spend a lot of my time helping students eat all the cupcakes, candy and other assorted goods that they bring in for classroom parties. Last week was the grade 6/7 dance, hilarious each time. Nervous boys and girls too scared to talk to each other, others who aren't so scared, a good mix. Time for Family Guy. Have you heard? You haven't heard? I thought everyone had heard. Don't you know about the bird? Everybody knows that the bird is the word. BA-BA-BA BIRD BIRD BIRD! BIRD IS THE WORD!

I'M CALLING IT: This week will go by extremely fast and all i will eat a ton of food that will make me sick. The end of the week will be awesome and i will rock at ball hockey tomorrow night.
