Messing around at the bank..

Dont you just love banks, i always get amazed by how much red tape there is involved with banks here in Brasil. I have finally managed to get my bank account all sorted out now though which is great :-). There was a bit of confusion at the bank at first but once they managed to understand what they were supposed to be doing it all went just fine. Roberta and i were laughing so much, it was a little crazy hahaha!!

Im wasting time here now though until 5pm. I have another class but its just exams for those guys so i can just sit back and relax for a couple of hours and then correct them all later on to see how they did. They will easily pass though as i said they are MEC4 :-)

Time for a cold coke :-)

Need some coffee..!!!!!!

Well my weekend was a real pisser, can you believe that i was robbed and beaten up by two guys with guns? They took my documents phone glasses and even my socks and tennis shoes and R$20 too. Luckily though yesterday someone found some of my documents but not the one i really want which is my id card. A new one will cost a fortune but i am going to check a couple of places i was told that criminals usually hand things into, yeah you heard right lol. They rob and then return things they cant use.. wierd aint it hahaha!!I hope i will get my id card back most of all though. Will have to see what happens

Alsothis week i moved house and now am just a few minutes walkfrom Robertas place which is nice especially at night time as i dont have to try to make it through estancia without getting mugged again. Of course Roberta is over the moon as now we are alot nearer and its easier to planstuff too :-)

My students have their mid-term exams this week and start today, i have been correcting some of them on and off this morning and afternoon too and theyare all doing well. Then again, they are MEC4 so it is already a forgone conclusion they are going to do pretty well :-). I have more exams in a couple of weeks that i hope my students will also do well in :-)

Okay email time before i hit the bank to find out what the problem is there with opening my account..

Time to go here!!!

Well ive spent three hours here in the lanhouse so i guess i had better go and call Roberta and find out what time she will be arriving here. I am lucky that i am only two minutes from the bus station so even if its raining i can go and meet her with an umbrella. Plus i'll write her a letter too, Roberta loves to get love letters although to be honest i think i need to practice just a little to get mine just right hahaha!!

Okay time to go here before it pisses it down ;-)

Sundays.. dont you just love em? hahaha!!

Well i am here at the lanhouse and just kicking around the net as i wait for Roberta to arrive later on. I cant wait for her to arrive as i didnt see her yesterday as she went to the airport to meet per parents who were on vacation :-). We can go get some pastels and that cane juice stuff (cant remember the bloody name of it lol) as i love these pastel things, i dread to think how much oil and stuff is in one of them though lol.

I checked on the Raed site and theres quite a few photos from Iraq there now. It makes interesting reading too but the photos are the best i think as we actually get to see whats going on there in real time. You guys should go check it out if you get time :-)

I've been messing around a little with the other blog too, i have some things that i wanna make for the CCAA in Taguatinga too and i'll ask Roberta to give me a hand with them as she can draw really well :-). I want to create some posters for the walls that students can write interesting websites on for the students to go look at whether they are sites for learning english or other ones just so long as they are in english with no portugues translations. Hopefully some of the students will use them, we will have to wait and see i guess

Okay off to play Mu for just a little while to kill some more time lol..
