Just when I thought I survived the severe winter an unexpected incident happened to me yesterday morning. It was raining when hubby drove me to work. I was happy that it finally rained as it was more welcomed to melt the remaining hard snow that’s been on the ground since the first month of winter. Hubby dropped me to [...]
The week has been sorrowful for everyone at my job because one of our colleagues passed away after being rushed to the hospital on Monday. We were having our usual meeting with our respective rectors that day when the incident occurred. Since my job has a large group of language teachers in the entire region, the meetings are conducted in five groups, with each [...]
It’s definitely not a good week to celebrate Mother Language Week. And definitely not a pleasing idea to bring the students to a museum to see an exhibit when it’s snowing non-stop. But the plan was agreed beforehand so we proceeded. Children don’t complain about the weather, anyway. It’s adults like me who are capable of making a big [...]
“Please excuse Jennifer for missing school yesterday. We forgot to get the Sunday paper off the porch, and when we found it Monday, we thought it was Sunday.” “I didn’t come to school yesterday because I was feeling like I was going to be sick, but thankfully I wasn’t!” I am not writing about students [...]
cod fillét and what’s that sauce This is a continuation of my previous post. The only moment when almost everybody stopped talking was during lunch. The food, somehow, really kept the mouth from talking and I was glad it did. I could hear no talking but the sound of cutlery placed on plates. Seemed better for a moment. Some looked [...]
Today is my last working day which is specifically intended for assembly of all mother tongue teachers in this city. As usual, the program started with a thanksgiving talk of one of the bosses while the rest of us were just sitting and listening. Others might just pretend to be listening attentively, who knows. I’d [...]
We don’t have any intention of becoming a coin collector nor a numismatist. These coins are what we’ve kept from our travels, mostly on road trips, when we needed loose change for tollgates and small snacks. It seems as though we become coin collectors in the end. But not numismatists since we are not studying about [...]
I’m pretty sure you all know about collecting stamps or like most women do, collecting bags or shoes. I do have quite a number of bags but it’s not something I would have thought of collecting. Sometimes we meet people who have the hobby of collecting things and it so happened that I’ve met one and [...]
Yes, yes, yes! I do, I do, I do! I always say ”yes” and ”I do” when Sandra Bullock comes up with a new film. Her charisma is irresistible with her cute but sometimes naughty eyes roll on the big screen. The first movie I saw with her was “While You Were Sleeping” and I became a huge fan after that. And [...]
As you may have known my job includes administering study guidance to students and this does not limit to one or two subjects. Most of the students that I come to work with need help in Mathematics and other subject areas that deal with Maths. Because of this I came to realize that Maths is [...]
Crucible Furnace and Something
It was quite hard for me to tell what it really was then I noticed the piece of info down there. I tried to zoom it out hoping to see what was written about it. Degelugn? What is it? The word is Swedish but even the translation crucible furnace seemed unfamiliar to me. I saw [...]
I wished I could take a break from teaching without compromising my job as a teacher. You might be wondering how on earth could I do it. To quit working would be the only way to make my wish would come true. But it was not the way. Part of my job is tutoring or [...]
