Psychology’s brighter now
Psychology isn’t brighter (smarter) but the going-to-class looks brighter (isn’t as dark and hopeless as before) now.
I was in class, it was break time. It was good ’cause I needed a break from hearing the usual evolution garbage that I alway hear in my psychology class. Especially when the prof had just explained away why [...]

Psycho you bet!
I kind of like my psychology course this semester ’cause it’s the one I should have had before the one I got last semester, thus everything is more simple. What I also like about the course is the fact that I am the only person from my cohort taking it, that means that I’m the [...]

Contradiction
My fourth year of university just started today with two classes. One was in the evening and was terribly painful. Even though the teacher is to blame to a certain extent, he was not the only one making these three hours painful. The fact that I have a cold didn’t help ’cause it’s getting up [...]

Leavin’
Departure from Montréal will be on Tuesday June 16 and arrival in Sherbrooke will be… on June 16, just two hours later. It’s kind of nice to think that I’llget to spend my summer again in Sherbrooke, away from the city. I would spend my life away from the city actually but it seems that [...]

Eventless
My life is pretty … eventless. And it is fine by me. Or maybe what you would call an event I would call unimpressive, I don’t know. All that to say that I had two (not events but) intresting happenings today.
Number 1. Some of you are aware that this week the professors at university are [...]

I am well
I got a phone call from my cooperating teacher at the school I am a student-teacher at. She asked me how the afternoon had been (she was away) and then scared me. She said, “Does your family know that you’re in an internship?” quite seriously. I had no clue why she was asking the question, [...]

Ahhhhh j’te dis.
I am so glad I only have two more weeks to go in my internship. The first week I was observing, so it was quite boring. The second week I got my first bite of the teaching sandwich I had for this internship. Some days were good, some were … not that good, all depending [...]
