Bad day

How many of us have had days where we are feeling at the lowest of the low, where we feel like we're being crapped on. Simply put, it's just one bad day, and this picture is definitely how it looks. But thank god it's Friday!


(The mother elephant is crapping on the poor baby elephant!)

Active Amra

To day when I was done with work I rushed to the store to buy some presents. The presents are for kids that are less fortuned. The school I'm working in has a project that every staff member and student are included. We will buy something that the less fortuned kids will receive on Christmas. I thought it was a great idea! You dont have to do big deeds to make miscalls or at least make somebody happy! But I have to say it was hard to buy stuff for teenagers. I got home and I started to clean. I vacuumed, washed the dishes, cleaned the bathroom and made dinner. Now I'll go for a walk with my dog, and return some books and plan some lessons for tomorrow.


One more thing! There are some special people that had there birthdays yesterday. Once again Happy Birthday Tobbe and Po and I wish you the very best! <3

Nintendo 64

Nintendo 64, those were the days. Brings me back to my childhood and the first time we got it. We were in heaven, my sisters and I. We would play all day long and all night long. We played it so much that my parents had to hide and forbid us to play, because we were actually not getting any sleep. I remember our little sister would sit with us and watch while we were playing it. When we were at school she would make our mom sit and play (I 'm not kidding). Mom didn't know how but she told us that if she didn't, our little sister would start crying. :D
Now it's all upgraded with wii and playstation, x-box etcetera. But I have to say that the old video games have more character. The games are fun with all the cords sticking out, you have to plug it here and there. Games you can never get enough of them!

Over and out!

Teacher

I'm a substitute teacher rest of the week. I have to say I love it. I'm learning to be comfortable in the classroom, finding my voice and my style of teaching. Being a teacher is far from easy. A teacher's life is similar to the life of a professional fighter. One bad fight, and that's the end of your career. But if you're smart and patient, you'll learn the tricks. The classroom is a hard but exciting place. You'll never know what kind of effect you've have on the hundreds of children you teach. Teaching has it's ups and downs. Sometimes the sun is shining and you feel so confident in yourself and the next day you just want to punch everything moving. Sure the pay isn't something to brag about but I can honestly say that I learn something new almost everyday, and I grow alongside with these children. I have a influence in their lives one way or the other, for better and worse. I'll make mistakes, but I'll learn from them as well. What I'm trying to say is Find what you love and do it! I know I found something I love to do.

So what's behind all my philosophical words? I've just read a book that made me think about all this. The book is called Teacher Man written by Frank McCourt. I really advice everybody to read it. I especially love these lines from the book ; " There's nothing more dangerous than letting old men sit in the sun. They might be thinking. And it's the same with kids. Keep them busy or they might start thinking.

Ps: Don't mind the picture, but sometimes I feel like banging my head against the blackboard of frustration ;)

Monday

My day started with me waking up early to get to my university as fast as possible to print some papers before my course started. While I was sitting in the computer room a woman who was sitting next to me was sighed and looked stressed and I just couldn't help laughing to myself a little because it is what you expect on Mondays :)
Was in school from 8.30 to 17.30 and I'm exhausted! I was playing the piano with my piano teacher. Practicing for my exam that's coming up in the near future. I made the mistake today to know all my songs perfectly (according to my teacher) and now I have to pay for it! She suggested that I should play more advanced song for the exam, for example songs in G sharp and B flat! So kids... don't outsmart the teacher and don't try to do better, who are you trying to fool here??! the outcome will always be worse then it was before! Oh well, the only thing for me to do is start practicing.

Now to something entirely different. I've got some products for my hair from my dear friend for my birthday and last night, lack of doing, I started reading the directions at the back and was profound of what I just read! The products that I've got was from this new Aussie collection. I really like the products, they actually do wonders to my hair but the directions hahah blew me away. The thing that I read was going like this; "Before you start open the bottle cover (it helps)" hahaha and then spread a small blob-ette (technical term). Well it is nice to see that they actually thought about the "not so blessed with brains" population as well. God bless the Aussie- Take the Heat products!

Continue having a awesome Monday and smell ya later! :)

Bajram

Good Morning everyone out there! Woke up this morning receiving tones of messages from friends and family wishing me a pleasant Bajram. Bajram is sort of like Christmas in our tradition. We gather with our families and exchange presents and just being together. The best part of Bajram is that we have it twice a year! woop woop! :D So this would be our second Bajram this year.

Bajram Serif Mubarek Olsun everyone celebrating! <3

I'm Back

Hey peeps! I'm back! so now you have to put up with me once again!Was asked why I don't write no more and was demanded to start writing so... I'll give it one more shot! Last night I was at my friend Annis place. We drank some wine and had a good laugh. And I've learned a new word! My friend Linda had a interesting word for insult in swedish it was skymf, first time I've heard it and I have a hard time remembering it :D Well after that evening I have a little bit of headache but nothing major, woke up however from a noise that was coming from my dear neighbors. They were practicing Finnish at 9 in the morning!!! At first I thought that they turned up the TV very loud but then I hear; - Please listen to i once more and answer the following questions. Well at least I think that that was what they were saying (It's in Finnish ----> me no good!) because there was a pause and then the voice said something about questions, well anyhow I didn't get that much sleep....

Over and out!
