Work, Play, Shop, Eat, Relax!

Today we learned more grammar. I think I'm going to die. I have realized in two days of learning grammar that I don't hate grammar. I hate the Canadian public school system for not teaching me anything beyond verbs, adverbs, nouns and adjectives. Who knew that tere is a Present Simple, Present Pefect and Present Continuous. I am Presently Confused. I also didn't know that there is such a thing as Proper Nouns, possessive pronouns, compound adjectives or Gerunds. Please don't ask me to explain any of those, because the only one I really know (and understand) is the Proper Nouns, which are nouns that are a title (like a city or a name of a person.)

Dear someone Who mightn't care,

I weren't teached grammar so I ain't have an clue how to make a sentance proper.

Sincerely

me.

Of course that's not true. I can clearly write a sentance, speak a sentance, but part of teaching something is explaining how to put that sentance together. AND I CAN'T DO IT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW!! I have to study really hard this month and pass my exam. I'm quite fearful of it. I'm sure I will pass, I just know that this course is not all laughing fun and games for anyone who was taught in Canada (me!), England, or the USA. I really feel the need to write to Stephen Harper and tell him that he really needs to invest more in the teaching of teachers so that they can educate students on grammar. I was told today that my Spanish students will not need to learn grammar. They already know it. I just need to be able to tell them where parts of a sentance usually go in that sentance. But if there is a question that they ask that I can't answer, that's where the tricky part comes in. *el suspiro*.

Anyway, after a very frustrating, confusing class, we were dismissed for the day. Woohoo! I went to them mall with some friends, had some lunch, went back to school to study a bit, and then went window shopping a little more. I bought some haram pants (not quite full pants, they go to my knees). They are SO compfy. We wandered a little more, found some really nice looking bakeries and resisted some delicious looking treats.

Eventually, I ended up at home, with some fresh veggies to add to my pasta dinner. I sat down and decided to watch The Lion King while I ate (with subtitles!)

You can see this from the roof too!

Here's another angle of the same building, from the mall! They have a viewing deck on the 5th floor of the mall!

This is what a round-about is supposed to look like. Dear Kitchener, next time you build one, do it right!!
