I don't regret the things I did in college (or the past two years for that matter), to most of them I say, "oh my god I can't believe I did that in that I can't believe I once was that crazy".

A lot of the time now adays I feel as lif I'm having one sided conversations. As my mom would say "it's like talking to the wall".

Since I want to take a German class to better my German I went to the adult school today. I was so nervous about it I kept making silly mistakes when I was talking with the woman adminstrating the test. What I expected was the test to have a listening, reading, and grammatic, and writing section (like the AP test). What it really was, was she asked ( Read more... )

so I'm updating from Germany, hopefully for the first of many times. I arrived safely on Tuesday after a not so exciting flight. The family is really nice and easy going. The kids are adorable and not really a problem. Although I think half of the reason I can safelty say that is because I dealt with so many little crazies last year. Who, I ( Read more... )

I've been unemployed all summer long looking for teaching jobs in the areas. However since the economy is in the dumps, finding a teaching job has not been possible ( Read more... )
