Not, yet ... not for a while ... but from where I'm from, if you don't plan well ahead, things might not go as you hope <BR/>for (plus, when your a recent uni graduate, anything that you can get for "free" is a good thing .. and that's where most of the excitement is from). <BR/><BR/>I'm not even too sure what my expectations should be - other than please come to class and try your bestKenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00925720047407882803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039120098510229196.post-11659035291561871202007-08-31T10:44:00.000-04:002007-08-31T10:44:00.000-04:00Hi there!let me introduce myself first. My name is...Hi there!<BR/><BR/>let me introduce myself first. My name is Joanasie Akumalik. I was born and raised in Arctic Bay but I amn one of those people from Arctic Bay born people who never got to stick around to the end but I still do come in and out. Its hard not to run away from home.<BR/><BR/>I was always excited the first school days, new teachers, new classroom, checking who made it to the class and who didn't and advancing. I am sure that you are excited as well with Arctic Bay. Teachers were troubleshooters a while back and they were always helpful in everyway. But things have changed a bit in the last little while. Technoly and Eminem are here to stay.<BR/><BR/>I wish to welcome you but I wanted to tell you that don't get your expectations too high on everyhting while you are in Arctic Bay. You will feel disapointed if you didn't get your newspaper or your decaf coffee most of the time while in Arctic Bay. Students will get use to you and swear and or curse and the courses will become boring but its with the team work I thing that things go well. I was just a little disapointed when I read your part about checking the airlines for how many points you should get to get to Ottawa - that message implied to me that, what you have been in Arctic Bay for less than two weeks, and you are already checking to check out from the communnity? Hmmm? yea! its an Inuit town but we do have values....Please be patient!Juanasi Akumalikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15324364388053999859noreply@blogger.com
