Diary of a Wom'n

It's Christmas Eve today and I just realized that this will be the first time writing here since the summer. Well, the past few months went by very fast, although at the time it didn't feel like that. I have a sweet bunch of kids again this year, I love it. And I was able to start up new initiatives that I talked about last school year
(http://gracewonderful.blogspot.com/2011/06/great-entertainer.html) which are the spelling bee and the skipping club so far. The spelling bee is great; turned out to be just as I expected it to be. In the new year, a student in the school wants to start a poetry club in my class. I'm not too excited about it because I'm not really a poetry fan. But we'll see how it roles out. Another teacher and I may also start a spoken word team of writers but, again, I'm not too excited about that one either. But if the kids are interested, that's all that matters.

In case I didn't mention this, Dj had left for Calgary for a fellowship for a bit over a month in mid-summer and came back to Montreal to enroll in another program. He had asked if I wanted to come down before the summer to Montreal. I wasn't able to - it was the last few weeks of June and that's a busy time at school.

Joel and I don't talk anymore. He emails me sometimes though. I don't respond. He always made me feel special.

I need a plan for 2012. Do I show random acts of kindess? Do I start a workout program? Do I volunteer somewhere?
