We’re all meeting up at the school around 7:30-8pm tonight to have a staff movie night and socialize a bit. It’ll be nice, but I think I can safely say that everyone’s going to be stretching their faces yawning by the end of it. It’s been a busy week!
The clouds are rolling in again so hopefully it holds off at least until we get there. I ran home at lunch to let Belinda out and say hello and ended up getting soaked through! She appreciated it, I’m sure.

Ghost Writers, there are better movies. I’ll leave it at that. As for the quality and quantity of popcorn – it could not have been made more desirable :D About twenty people showed up and we had a lovely time. Someone got the van to drive us all there and those of us from the far units all walked back together under a spectacular sky. I haven’t had a chance to see it so clearly as we did tonight and it’s truly breathtaking. I can’t wait to see the Northern Lights start dancing!
I took a picture of the school on my way in at one point so here it is. You can’t really tell from this distance, but it’s been built in the shape of a goose, except that the neck and head of the goose are far off to the right. As far as I can imagine, it wasn’t built to be symmetrical so much as to divide the longer elementary ‘half’ from the shorter high school section. We actually saw a dozen or so geese from the classroom window today and all the kids got excited and ran over to see. They said they’re starting to fly South for the winter. A lot of the kids take some time off for a week in October for cultural week – everyone goes goose hunting! The moose hunt will come later on in the year and there are several of us teachers hoping to find someone to tag along with!
