Robert Muraine IKEA

Who says reality TV doesn't get you anywhere? He didn't even make the top 20 on SYTYCD, season 4 hasn't finished airing yet and he's already in an ad. Mr.Fantastic indeed.

Hi! Are you happy to see me?

Wow. Working. Sucks. You hate me, right? Now in the third week of the program...how's it going, you wonder? It's intense. Students are outspoken and opinionated. I feel like a fish out of water. Reverse culture shock in the classroom, as if I didn't have enough to deal with in that department. Reverse culture shock's a doozy folks.

So I just finished up some work, it's 10:23 and I'm sitting on the couch, stinking of Vick's Vapo Rub and feeling light headed from coughing...good times. My body is so predictable - stress, fatigue, sore glands, loss of voice. As my brother-in-law said, I sound like Marg Simpson's mother.

In other news, I've applied to two jobs this week and keep your fingers crossed everyone because I'm actually highly interested in both. How does Joanne the English Language Assessor strike you?

Bedouin Soundclash - 12:59 Lullaby

This video made me cry. Need I say why?

Proof



Just for anyone who needs any additional proof than I'm an all out nerd. But come on folks who can resist Doogie?

A Life Extra Ordinary

Hi there folks, I guess I should tell is that I have a job! Insert dance of joy here. I start teaching July 7th.

I had a whole slew of other things that I was going to tell you, accompanied by pictures but I just deleted all six of them so needless to say I'm now a more frustrated Joanne. I'm just going to spread the frustration by telling you that you are now going to have to wait a little longer to hear all the exciting details of my life. I've been sitting at the computer since talking to my wonderful girl Karen this morning via Skype. It was a wonderful start to my day, Peaches!

I'm heading out to Starbucks, I wish to say for a soy latte but alas I've cut coffee out of my life for the time being (it's been 5 days) - so I will be indulging in a China Green Tips Tea while I plan a lesson for the next training session I have on July 3rd. The end of the month has completely crept up on me, I'm not sure how since all I seem to do sometimes is wait for time to pass. After my little planning session I'm heading to the gym for a yoga class, then to my favorite place for some live music. (More on this later.)

Pictures to come, promise.
