Your dreams have come true

How is that possible? Well, an all Canadian radio station that I can listen to in Arizona...that's a pretty big dream come true isn't it? More than one Canadian radio station listenable in my vehicle? What else could it be for a girl who was the orginator of the Mighty Maple Minutes~! (Which I am doing on The Blaze next week BTW) Wake left me a message last week saying XM 52 seemed to be playing unsigned and Canadian bands. All the while I have been hearing about Chris and Jay Sloan hosting a show on Sirius. I have been trying to find out for sure if the US gets theses channels when the saltellite radio launched in Canada. Back when I still could watch The National, they said it would be here in US as well. So low and behold Saturday morning I tune in my XM and it's all Canadian Content-3rd song after I tune it in is "Weapon" Matt Good... OK.... I listen 3 hours straight..no Sloan..which is weird because I had heard Hot Hot Heat and Matt three times at this point. There are a little lacking on amount of artists so far. They are also sort of odd because they play mainstream rock bands like OLP, Thornley and Theory of a Deadman yet then play every off shoot of Broken Social Scene. Rock half the time Alt the other half. I finally heard Sloan boys later in the day , oddly "Underwhelmed" live. I listened again a bunch on Sunday, three Matt, no Sloan..maybe because Sloan is doing the Sirius thing??? SO, I go to r-away on Sunday and Wake is just getting back from purchasing Sirius at Sears for $30! He looks on line and finds the channels for CBC radio. I am on a mission now...off to Sears I go! My $30 receiver is on order but hopefully by the next C & J show, I will be hooked up!
I want to mention a few good and bad points of students for a minute. Good is a kid named Wasef. He was the kid who got me a Sloan shirt at Coachella autographed. He is a gem, helped me not only with my freaking out computer today but also helped me in my final class while ZI handed out papers. Some students avoid adults or treat them differently. I am grateful for students who I can treat as adults, I find so many co-workers who do not treat students as adults. Admittedly there are some who do not deserve it. Case in point, my student I mentioned I was having issues with was Stupid enough to post something online about having someone cover for her in my class-using me by name.... Do you really think I won't find out? If it's online, someone will see it right??? Hey, I know when I post here, it could be seen... Best part of it was the karma, the day after I find this out, I listen to her assignment. There was nothing on the disc...karma....If you are going to turn something in, better make sure it's there..dooohhhh. Go ahead, try and run to my boss again..hehehe.. I have My Space proof of your skipping out on your hours...
