Autumn and Everything After... well not quite

Since summer things have slowed down considerably, but instead of being super busy, I'm super boring! There were a couple of things I'd like you to know about though.

First, in September we had another couch surfer stay with us from England; Anna. She was amazing we had great time hanging out and teaching her how to play poker for Kenny's birthday party. She left after a few days and continued on her world wide trip. It was great to have her company for a while.

Kate and Dave resigned their contracts so they took a trip back home. At school, things weren't too hectic because Director made some busy work for the kids to do while we were busy teaching the other classes. They were given the topic of writing an article for a newspaper. There were hardly any guidelines and what we got out was pure mastery! All of them are hanging on the walls at school and I can't wait to take some pics to show you! I'll get them soon so you're not waiting so long. On my breaks I sometimes wander through the halls to read a new one I hadn't seen before. The kids are also really proud of them and they always grab my hand and pull me over to theirs to show me. What a great idea!

When Kate and Dave came back we had a Canadian Thanksgiving Dinner. Around 13 other people attended as well: Shanna, Rebecca, Mitzi, John, Amy, Juliet, Carrie, Kenny, Macella and her boyfriend. It was nice and there was tonnes of delicious food. I might do something similar around Christmas time if anyone is around... we'll see.

Lately, I've been running all the way to Ori bridge and back. I'm not sure exactly how far it is, but I think it's between 3 and 4 miles round trip. I stop running only once I get to Ori and I take a little loop past there to cool down, but otherwise I run the whole way. I feel like a super star and hope I can keep it up. This week, a little bout with bronchitis kept me from running and swimming but I'm gonna hit the path tomorrow. Wish me luck!
