GO RAPTORS GO

Since the Leafs didn't make the playoffs (grrr), I am directing all of my sports energy to a team with an actual chance at glory for the 2007 season. Bring out the salami and cheese, because the Raptors are going all the way this year, led by the phenomenal Chris Bosh. I usually find basketball a little boring to watch, but Bosh plays with such intensity it's hard not to be excited. Go Raptors!

April Fool's Day!!

During my first year teaching, I was always a little frantic. On April Fool's Day, I was so frantic that I didn't even realise that it WAS April Fool's Day. One of my colleagues had a student come to my classroom and knock on the door in the middle of my lesson. The student said that there was a grade assembly going on in the library, and everyone was waiting for our class before they could begin. She said there had been an email that I must not have received explaining the assembly. I was so annoyed, as I really needed to get on with my lesson. Grudgingly, we went down to the library, but about half way there I remembered that it was April Fool's Day and told my class to turn around and go back to class. When we got back, my colleague and her class were in the middle of "redecorating" my classroom!

I wondered if anyone else has any funny April Fool's Day stories, even though it doesn't have much to do with media.

Go Leafs Go!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am following the recent trend of declaring my hockey feelings on my blog. I think you all should know that I am giving 110 percent in my cheering for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Tonight, I'm going to get on that couch, and just watch a simple game of hockey. I know that we need to get together as a team of Leafs' fans, and get back to the basics. GO LEAFS GO!

A Thorny Heart

Ouch!
