1st volleyball game

We often have fun drawing contests in French class. Here are three artists that are attempting to draw "un gâteau":

Here is the finished result. My quick drawing is the large one in the middle:

We had our first volleyball game of the season this year (I coach the girls grade 8 team at school). Our team consists of mostly gr 7 students though. We played the grade 10 and grade 8 teams from "my" rival school today. I've had quite a history coaching against this school. Today, their grade 8 team bench players would shout out "Garbage!" at the top of their lungs while we served the ball. The coach claimed he couldn't hear them after I complained. They stopped. We romped them. (We almost beat the 10th graders, too!)

Eve of first day of school

Well, all the kids must be feeling pretty excited and/or nervous at this point, as they all go back to school tomorrow morning. Being a specialist teacher, I don't actually have to do any teaching. I'm for sure going to visit the wife's class though. I know a few of the kids there, and they're too cute...I start Wednesday.

So I found out that my volleyball captain/best player has broke her arm and will be out of commission for the next five weeks. That was not good news (I coach grade 8 girls volleyball). We'll definitely have a harder season without her. Hopefully she can still come to practices and help out the younger group.

Got the new episodes of Prison Break Season 4 all cued up and ready to watch...did any of you see it yet? I had heard that they were bringing back Dr. Sarah Tancredi (sp?) It's true, Wentworth just confirmed it in an interview. I wonder how they'll play that out.

So we had our first ice hockey practice last night. Yes, I decided to join my first organized ice-hockey team (part-time albeit). It was quite a bit different from roller-hockey (something that I'm much better at). I trust I'll get better with more practice. I never did take the plunge and play ice hockey after all these years.
