    Congrats, Shanna!


    I've just got invited to an interview for the teacher training programme in England. It's in May. They're inviting me although I don't really speak another foreign language (German being my first "foreign" language in this case.)

    =D! We just bought a horse!
    His name is Ted, and he is beautiful!
    I'm going to work with him for a few months until he is ready to find a new, permanent home.
    Naked except for a cigarette, you let your mind drift and forget your disbelief. Feel the chill down your back and the flutter of wings through dandelion fields, and forget the pull of gravity in a night without stars.

    I lack eloquence and commitment to my arguments. They are half baked, and I will begin passionately, and then abandon them.

    Don't know if this counts, but I finished a festival kimono in fashion class. It only took me two weeks of classes and I got 95% 'cause I forgot to clip the threads.

    XP It's the perfect halloween costume. Now if I can just get it up on Ebay...

    Oooo! Congrats to you and your sister! How exciting!!

    I just got an "A" on my research paper for English honors. Crazy class, every other paper I have turned in before was a "B". I'm so happy.
    Loose lips sink ships.

    I had the briefing day and interview at the training agency on Monday.
    there was
    * a written English test (1hr)
    * briefing (1hr)
    * a group discussion task (1hr)
    * oral Spanish test (5 mins)
    * individual interview (30 mins)

    I hardly managed to wedge in a word sideways in the group discussion because there was a French girl who talked nonstop. So I might have come across as a bit shy. The Spanish test was cool. I think I did great considering I've only been studying it for 3 months and this was my first time actually talking Spanish to anyone.
    The interview went alright. I just kept talking. Of course, half of it was crap and I could have given better examples, but it's always like that in retrospect. Plus, I wasn't shy or nervous at all. Normally I'm a bundle of nerves in oral exams, so I think this went really well even if my answers weren't 100% perfect.
    If I get accepted in this round, there'll be another round in June where the schools interview us.

    I recieved the best overall mark in my psychology class of 400 people, and the best lab mark in my biology class.
    I have a black belt.
    I'm pretty good looking.
    I live in a really cool little town in the middle of nowhere. It's a two hour drive away from any other town or city, on a mountain on the border between B.C. and Alberta. My town is the most interesting thing about my life.

    Nice to meet you Juniper. Welcome to lit net. And that is fabulous on your grades and the black belt. Of course you being pretty is a nice thing too.

    Thumbs down

    Probably NOBODY has a worse salary than I!

    (Better to boast about it, because it'll change on June: I've got three new students. So, at the publisher, it's still going to be the worst salary possible, but, at least, I'll get some money, otherwise! )
