Sounds mighty weird but that`s the exact translation to the term " Semaine de Relâche ".
And boy am I doing just that and enjoying every second- no make that millisecond of it.
I seriously thought I wouldn`t make it to the March Break.
Too many things, projects, chores and responsibilities were on one same plate.
I would have needed a clone if that were possible.
But as I was listening to some family members over the weekend, it was the same for them so I got great consolation.
It`s somehow wickedly pleasant to know others are also having a nutty ( to avoid another term ) week .
So enough of last week, or should I say last month !
A new page has been turned.
As some of you may or may not know, we lost both our principal ( Fredéric Pruvost ) and our assistant-principal ( Claude Verville ) both in the same week.
Both are heading to greener pastures .
Leaving in the middle of the year is not an easy feat and wish Claude Verville all the luck he deserves. Congratulations .
As for Jean Nicolet, we only got a partial answer as to who will take the reins of our wonderful school.
As of Monday, March 9th, Jean Nicolet will be led by Mr.Pascal Blondin.
He was , until very recently, Beauséjour school`s principal.
Like you, ladies and germs, every time we have a long holiday, I dread ( saying it mildly ) going back to school.
I get the heavy Sunday night blues and the stress that goes with it.
I`m sure I` ll get it Sunday too except THIS time it shall be with excitement, anticipation and a light heart that I shall return.
I can`t wait to have Mr.Blondin aboard the SS Jean Nicolet.
I `ve heard but good things about the man.
Hope our school will give him the welcome he deserves.
I see the future of Jean Nicolet much brighter with him at its helm.
I see the English Concentration getting the much deserved attention and care it needs.
In short, I see hope and optimism.
The arrival of Mr.Blondin is much needed and the timing couldn`t be better.
So in short, I`m taking the week to " Let Go " in order to better latch on to our school to allow her to get full speed ahead and cruise the usually calm but occassionally rough waters.
Welcome in our midst Mr.Blondin and smooth sailing to you.
Your crew is in dire need of leadership and support.

Hi Annie,
It's funny, I know Pascal Blondin. It was my principal in elementry school for a short time. He's a very nice man. I remember that when he was principal, he did a big ice slide and after that, year after year, the school continued to do that :)
(little anecdote ;)
Have a good March break Annie !

I don't see you often now, so I find we don't talk to each other so much. I just don't want this year to be the last. But, I won't talk about that 'cause the year's not over yet :). I hope I'll find something to tell you because I really miss you ! Isn't that stupid!? ahah ! I feel like everybody knows what to tell you..But my life isn't interesting so.. Anyway. I love you a lot Annie :)
Take care !

How about telling me how you ADORED your day in Montreal a few weeks back ?
I talk for 3 so it shoudn`t be too hard ....
Ahah ! Yeah I know you talk for 3 ! It's the reason why I love going in English. I know I'm a bit late but for the day in Montreal, it was great ! Seriously I had so much fun there. I just wanna go back ! And I'm sure the next days will be as great ! And I just want to apologize .. Yesterday you were so angry.. Because of my team.. Now I'm sure you hate me. Ahah ! Anyway, I still miss you sooo ! And I wanna tell you that you are the teacher I admire the most ! And it's true. So, I hope you're good.
Take care !
