Friday April 9 2004
I’m in my homestay and this is really awkward! I’ve already made a huge mistake. A. only has one parent, M., both Ms D. and I assumed it was her mother. It’s her father. Luckily her grandparents also live here, because the father only speaks a few words of English, nowhere near enough for a ( Read more... ) -

Thursday April 8 2004
Today was one of the weirdest days of my life! We went on a huge ferris wheel on the top of a department store. J. and I were in an enclosed car with the teachers, which was funny, since Mrs K.’s afraid of heights and we were about 200 metres up! She almost had a heart attack when Ms D. ( Read more... ) -
Friday 5: Careers, Dreams & Reality
1. What did you dream of being when you were a little child?
I can't remember actually, probably something really awesome and famous.
2. What did you think you might become when you were between the ages of 12-13?
Oddly enough, I kind of wanted to be a lawyer! It was the first "real" job that I ever really thought about, although strangely, by the ( Read more... ) -
To answer some questions…

I’ve had quite a lot of people comment on my 5000 Question Survey posts asking me where on earth I found this thing, and I just realised that I never answered any of you! I’m really sorry about this, I didn’t intentionally ignore you!
Unfortunately I don’t actually KNOW where I got it from! I had it up on my ( Read more... ) -

102. List five people you love starting with the one you love the absolute most. WHY do these surveys always ask stupid stock questions like this!? I’m not going to publicly evaluate my friends! I am not going to give you inappropriate personal details ( Read more... ) -
An ESOL update
Mirrored from The Adventures of Holly.
I FAIL at life. Although Miss 15 and Master 13 gave me their email address before they left, I still haven’t emailed them! At first I was in two minds over whether or not I should do so, due to the whole “teacher-student-professional-boundary-thing” but then I figured that since they gave me their address, they ( Read more... ) -
How young is too young?

I know that to some of you this might be rather old news, but I still think it raises an interesting debate, and, since, in answer to my recent question, A LOT of people said they wanted more posts like this, I figured I’d post this to see whether you think the judges in Holland made the right decision or not.

Deep-fried Cheesecake and Sliding Ice-Cream
Mirrored from The Adventures of Holly.
I really should have posted this last weekend, but I only loaded the photos onto my camera a couple of days so am doing it now instead.
Last Sunday we went out for dinner for my birthday. We went to a teppanyaki restaurant which, to cut a long story short, had deep-fried cheesecake on the dessert menu. As much ( Read more... )
