Disassociation

Well I wasn't sure if I had anything to talk about, but I was going to post anyway. Then a couple things hit me. First is the disassociation I feel toward the lives in which all those in Canada exist in. It didn't occur me that living 23 years of my life in Canada would tie me so closely to the seasons. But being that it is December 1st, it is 28 degrees celsius, and my Christmas holidays will be a triumphant 3 days, I'm starting to notice some differences. In many e-mails I have sent and received, a major topic has been the weather. And despite knowing how cold -25 degrees celsius feels, I just can't imagine it right now. It can't really be December. Normally I would have hit the slopes at least one time, butt his year all I do is go to the beach (which I did today... it was gorgeous). And it occurred to me that this will be the first Christmas where I will be utterly pleased that it is green outside. I'll probably go for a swim in my pool Christmas morning. haha. Although I did mention that we only get 3 days off at Christmas, which is qutie the bummer. Not that I have much to accomplish during that time. So to those in colder climates, I hope it is bearable. I am a little jealous because I'd like to see snow again. And recently we have been teaching the children Christmas carols, and singing about white christmas' from long long ago, and sitting by a fire sound quite appealing. To those in warmer climates (only a few I know of).. isn't it wonderful??!!! hahha
Second thing I should comment on is the vietnamese alphabet. I found a good website that you can look at. http://www.omniglot.com/writing/vietnamese.htm I only looked at it briefly, but it looks quite detailed and might even have sound clips. Mabye it will show some of the words that have four accents. Ridiculous.
As for me. I've got to plan my lessons. It's time to accomplish something.
Peace from the Southeast.
