I need a vacation, but when will i get one? lol

Hmm im having a rest here and drinking my cola after arriving here in beautiful Planaltina lol. I had class with my TT2 earlier on and now i am in the middle of emailing people and organising giving conversation classes for yet another school lol. I went to a meeting of teachers over at another city last night and bumped into some other teachers who want to have some sort of conversation classes plus a few more people who asked where i taught english so i told them which school to ring so they can find out about classes. Nice or what? lol.. Working at three schools will be a little tiring i think but at the same time will be nice as i have contact with more teachers etc and methodologies so i can use any new fresh ideas i pick up with my groups and maybe people would wanna swap ideas too. A couple of hours ago i spoke to one of the people from the other school who said her boss wanted me to go visit so ill pay a visit there and that will give me something to do on fridays as fridays and sundays usually i have very little to do although sundays i usually either catch up on stuff from the school or hide out in Plano Piloto or one of the other cities as Planaltina can be very boring at the weekends lol. Im looking forward to meeting new people there but more to find out what new things that can share with me so i can pass things between myself and other teachers :-)

I have to go and visit the other website too as some of the students have started to join up there now so i can make them admin so i dont have to keep doing everything lol. I hope that students from the other school may join it too as it will be good for the students from both schools to have contact with each other even if at first itll be just on a website. It opens up a few new possibilities doesnt it? lol.

I have been watching a cd that one of my students Rosana let me have for a few days. Live stuff from Guns And Roses and its really good, she wants a full critique too lol. There is a nice version with Tom Petty and a good song with Queen as well. Ill pass the cd in her class on monday too i think as itll be nice to have some decent music instead of Britney Spears blaring all the time lol

Okay time for me to get something done here, have fun okay guys and gals :-)

Yeah finally found time to post lol

wow i have been so bloody busy the last few days that i havent really found time to get online and post lol. With that bbq and other things too i have been stuggling to find time to do anything but this morning here i am in the lab with no one else so i have access to both of the computers. The secretary decided she was going to try to bollock me for fixing one of the computers here in the lab lol. I think they had disconnected one of the lab computers so they would have less load on the network while they were porbably downloading songs with that Kazaa program but i plugged it all back in again lol. Not that it bothers me if the secretaries want to download songs but alot of the teachers and students like to use the internet for information and its hard to access anything when the network is tied up just because they want to download boyszone songs.

At the moment i am taking a break from preparing some new stuff for my groups, i got a few ideas from sites on the net and then adapted them to fit into my classes here so hopefully my groups will have a bit of fun with them in class. I have some extra stuff too coming from the coordinator of the school so itll be interesting to see what sort of stuff she has created :-) My MEC1 group likes alot any sort of different material so they will be happy to look at anything new the coordinator has come up with as well as the stuff i keep dropping on them once in a while :-) I prepped some stuff and its now printing out and then i have to go to the copy store to get some photocopies as there is one just around the corner and if i take a load of stuff in bulk they do it cheap for me :-)

also i got a couple of new games that i want to alter just a little to play with my groups, i like to do something a little different sometimes so these should be nice as they only take a few minutes to play and the students love to have a little break now and again :-)

right im outta here to get some lunch lol
