Nothing too much new, so heres some ramblings
I really dont have anything new to report thats all that exciting. Im pretty frustrated with these darned computers. The keyboards say if I push a key something on that key is supposed to show up on the screen. But it doesn{t (as shown by what was supposed to be an apostrophe). So, pardon the typos. I{m really trying my best to be accurate. This morning I had a project due, and it was all finished except for the revisions, so I took it to school, got here an hour early (right when the bulidng opened) and popped my disk in. But the computer wouldn{t print. SO. . . I saved the revisions to my disk, hopped onto another computer, and then my files couldn{t be read. So I lost my project. LUCKILY - because I{m a wise one, I had copied those files onto my e-mail and sent them to myself. SO, I hop onto ANOTHER computer, open those files, and THIS computer won{t print, AND one of the files I sent myself doesn{t exist anymore. I got on a fourth computer (there are 6 at the school), printed the ones I had, and then had to redo the one that I lost. Great way to start the day. So I had to skip lunch, because I didn{t have time to retype the lost file before class. But that{s okay. i got a salad to go, but they didnt{ include a fork. Which makes it difficult to eat a salad. I borrowed a fork, and it broke. It{s just one of those days.
but that{s okay. Because it{s just one day. I have a lesson plan to figure out for tomorrow - 45 minutes of lesson on "linking words" (as soon as, just after, by the time) 45 minutes. So I have to be creative, becuse the last thing I would want to do as a student is sit for 45 mintues learning about when and then, and after and such. Then I have another lesson plan to work on for Thursday on the terms "so would I" and "neither would I" - another 45 minutes. On that. That{s it. In the mean time I have to meet with a student for an hour and a half or so (I{m at school from 9 am to 6 or 7 pm) and test her fluency in English so I can design a private lesson for her (all this is part of the international requirement for getting this certification) - that is due on Thursday (we got it today) -AND I{m teaching on Friday and they havne{t told me what I{m teaching yet.
But I had a restfull weekend. Went up to Parc Guell - which is all Gaudi stuff, then dancing Saturday night (I was here at the school until 2 on saturday, so don{t think I didn{t work) and Sunday, after catching up on the sleep I lost Saturday night, I went to the beach to meet some friends, and the only one who showed up was Jenny - so we slept some more. It was nice, but not like Michigan. The water was actually colder - believe it or not. But it was sunny, witha great breeze, and I got a little sun. Which I needed.
So, tonight is homework night, and I think most of this week will be, because I{d like to have a weekend this time too. Then next week is supposidly the hardest week. Then it{s down hill, just studying for the international exam. Then I{m done.
After that, who knows. I think I{ll stick to Spain. I had thought about seeing Europe, but there{s so much to see, and just not enough time. I{m still not sure about work and getting a job and where I{d like it to be, but I{ll figure that out.
I have to get back to work. I{m sorry this was mroe of a venting blog - it{s just been that kind of day!!! :( But it is just a day. Tomorrows entry will be back to the story telling and such. Maybe the computers will be fixed by then -

Yeah the stress is definately up right now. I spent the weekend weeding my moms gardens for her so I am in so much pain you wouldn't beleive it. An now a consultant has just informed me he needs copies of three 5 inch binders I have in my office by 4 pm today. So off I go to the copy machine. Ahh cubicle life.
Good Lord...well, I had it easy today. Even though I got a phone call from Ryan yesterday. There were some problems at the station, and I was working with one of the new guys on how to fix it. He was calling me to tell me that things weren't going right and that I needed to do something about it. Couldn't just call the guy himself? Apparently not. But, he was happy today at least. I'm off to home now. Work on the computer at home and eat.
I'm sorry your luck is so lately hun. At least you started early, so you had time to deal with all the mix-ups. And yes, DO keep us posted on your plans Post Course. I'm a little more than interested.
We're still meeting in London and then on to Germany right???
