February 3, 2001 - Saturday
Today was blooming cold, but a generally nice day. When I walked to work this morning
it was snowy and windy and -11. Tonight when I walked home it stopped snowing ,
but it was still cold.
It was nice because....I got a letter from my friend in Australia with some pictures
and a birthday card too. It came to my apartment which was a nice thing. Then, after
my first class I discovered that a big parcel had arrived from Canada for me from
my friend Michelle. Ya hoo!
But, I digress. You probably want to know about my day in sequence right? Well, I
got up in the morning and it was damn cold. Before I left for work this morning
I turned the water off, just so I wouldn't get a nasty surprise when I got home.
The walk to work was terrible. I took my big umbrella, but it wasn't nice at all.
The wind was blowing the snow everywhere, but especially into my face. I wasn't
happy! I stopped off to buy my lunch and breakfast and then made it to work.
Classes went well and I think the students enjoyed them, at least I hope so! Before
work the manager played me a message on the answering machine. One of my students
invited me out for supper after work. That was cool.
I hardly saw the other teacher today, we were both so busy that we didn't have time
for a chat at all. I even left her a note in our message book to make sure that
she knew I wasn't avoiding her!
After work I opened my present from my friend. It was a pair of dungarees and a long
sleeved shirt. I tried them on and they fitted perfectly. I decided to wear them
when I went out.
So I walked out to the restaurant and I didn't half get a few stares as I went in,
but I found the ladies. We had a good time. The food was good...Mediterranean/Greek-ish.
I didn't get a lot, I was pretty late after all, but it was nice. I want to go
there again.
After the party broke up I came home via the convenience store and watched the tail
end of 90210 and Dharma and Greg. Actually I have to re-watch the latter one. A
nice thing when I arrived home is that one of my students called me and invited me
out tomorrow. I'm always complaining that no-one invites me out and in one day I was asked
out twice. That's so nice!
I'll likely go to bed soon, but I'm still darn cold. I've had the heater on for about
2 hours now, but I don't feel any warmer. Sigh.
I'm going to bed now! Except the fire alarm just went off. Hope it's a false alarm!
It seems to have been a false alarm. It stopped and no one was outside when I went out.
