I haven't been sick in years. Well, now I can say I have had a cold while staying in Korea!? Oo lol.

The first day was really bad. I got to school and was super groggy and congested. After I had set and up and was about to sit down at my desk the co-teacher I share an office with asks me, "Are you sick?" I told him I was and then he asked whether I had classes and when I said no he said, "Why don't you go home and rest!?" If you had said that to me before I had set up I would have left but since I was already set up I decided to stay and try to do some work. During that time the VP and Principal made a surprise visit to my office. They noticed that I was sick and a few minutes after they left a janitor came in with a heater for the office. But two hours after that, I signed out on sick leave. As soon as I got home, I changed into my jammies and jumped into bed. It's been a week now and I'm feeling better. No more congestion and grogginess but I have to deal with an annoying cough. Sometimes once it starts it keeps going and I just can't get it to stop. It happened today during my second class and it was annoying because it took up class time. It's even worse when the continuous cough occurs at bedtime. I can forget about sleeping because I'll be coughing up my lungs >< I'm still alive...read on )

JYP's Honey, when I first heard this song I immediately thought of the Chinese version by Jacky Cheung. I like both versions but heard Jacky's version first *me being Chinese and all =p* I've been meaning to look for the Chinese version again but I don't remember the name of the song in Chinese. If anyone out there could help me out I would really appreciate it! ♥

So the city has built a new YMCA up where I live. It's beside the not so new anymore Police Station. It is also literally a five minute walk away. The bus stop where I get off is also right in front of the Y. On the way home yesterday I finally realized that besides just the Y, a new public library was also built. It is part of the whole Y complex. *slow enough O_o*

Anyway, to what I wanted to rant about. Between the Y and the police station the city decided it was a good idea to build a skate park. So everyday the park is filled with guys skate boarding and stuff. That's not the bad choice, the bad choice was placing it where it is. It is approximately 5-6 meters away from the daycare playground. I'm not saying that having little kids see older kids skate boarding is necessarily a bad thing but hearing them curse is!!!

I was walking home the one day and stopped at my mail box which almost the same distance the daycare playground is from the skate park and I could loud and clear some guy yell out "FUCK!" And he didn't just say it once. He said it 4 times within the span of 90 seconds (1 1/2). ><

If I were a parent I would want something done about that. I understand that eventually young children will get exposed to foul language and the likes but honestly! The age range of the kids at the Y daycare are from about 2-5 years old. If I had a child I wouldn't want him/her to come home one day from daycare and say "FUCK!"

I've been seeing these bags with Paris or Barcelona written all over them lately *I think there are others like Greece too." Simple yet interesting. Would anyone know the brand of the bag or where I could get one in Toronto, Canada?

I think I remember someone telling me I had to go to Greece to get one >< That won't be happening anytime soon.

Your help would be greatly appreciated! THANKS!

i'm suppose to be getting ready for bed but of course i decide to check lj first.  the U video for the new super junior sub group was posted and well of course i decided to check it out.

dshflsdnvihGOHWE;RJ Lhjksnvldshv hsd?Fjrhbzk............................................................*fan girliness*  i totally freaked out.  kyuhyun singing in mandarin is so cool, all of them were awesome but kyuhyun and donghae really caught my ears!  hankyung (need i say more *melts*).

so far, i'm not a huge fan of zhou mi.  to be blatantly vain, i don't think he's that good looking.  don't get me wrong, i still think he's cool and all but i think i'll need some time to get used to him.  henry on the other hand, saw enough of him in don't don to be used to him =P  the clothes, the style, everything about this video is so drool worthy, lol.   they all look very suave.  totally awesome video! 

*how will i be able to sleep now?*

BOOM!

After getting ready for school I grab my USB and go over to my brother's PC to print off all my work that is due today. After the first page to my first assignment came out I was horrified. My printer ran out of ink. Ok, calm down, deep breathes. I will just print off my work at school. I get to school with plentyof time to print of my work and get to class. I get into Mills type up title pages and then opened up my USB to get to my files. I just randomly clicked on one of the two files that needed to be printed. The word processor on the school's computer system can't read my file extension. At this point I am panicking! I get down to my classroom to wait for my friends to show up so that I could tell them I won't be in class because I have make my way over to my cousin DD's place to print off my work.

I get to my cousin's place and thank goodness, I was finally able to open and print my work. I knew I would be able to open my work at her place because we both use Macbooks and have the same word processor. Actually, it has nothing to do with the fact that we both use Macbooks, it has more to do with the word processor we use. The only reason why I can open the same document on my brother's PC and not the PCs at school is because my brother has Open Office, a word processor application that can read my file extensions.

Afterwards, I decided that I would her place a little earlier so that I could drop off by the cupcake store to get an expensive cupcake to cheer myself up.

As I was reaching the corner of MacDonald Ave. the bus goes by - -" so instead of waiting for the next bus I opted to walk from my cousin's place up to King St. W where I would catch one of the four buses that will take me back to school. I just walked past the last stop bus for the 6 Aberdeen bus which is just before the underpass and the buses passes by me. So what I originally thought was the Aberdeen bus was probably a bus that was out of order and the actual bus had not come yet which makes sense cause the other bus passed by the MacDonald Ave. stop way too early.

Anyway, I just continued on my cold and not so merry way and bumped into my other cousin Ray (DD's brother) on his way home from school and told him about my bad day before we went out separate ways. By the time I made it to the King St. W bus stop I realized I have no time to get off at the corner of Cline Ave. N (I think) to go to the cupcake store.

I get back to school and have to do a presentation. I get nervous when it comes to presentations and standing in front of the class. But, not only do I freeze once I freeze twice in a span of a few seconds. At the end the Professor came up to me and another group member and said to us, "You need to engage the class more, make more eye contact. There is no reason to be scared, this is not a frightening environment. I am here to help you."

Finally, my day is almost over, I just need to go to Limeridge Shopper's postal outlet to pick up a package. I get downtown thinking I have enough time (I normally do) to walk over to Gore Park to get my bus. Once again I was about to reach the end of the street and a bus turns the corner but I can't make out the number. I'm thinking to myself, "that better not be the 25 Upper Wentworth." It ends up being the 25! Instead, I hopped on the 26 which also gets me where I need to go, only it takes a little longer.

To top the whole day off, I get home to discover that I have gotten my period.

DD is right in saying, "You should go to bed early tonight to make up for today. Today was just not your day!"

The only positive part of the day was being able to see DD and bumping into Michelle Hobbs who I have not seen in awhile.

On Sunday I graduated and received my certification from Oxford Seminars.  I now have the foundation for teaching English overseas.  I am glad I took this course.  At first I thought that it would be a waste of money, cause how hard can it be to teach English overseas?  But after taking this course I realized that it wasn't as easy as I thought.  It's not as simple as teaching daycare children which I have done during my time at Mohawk College for the Early Childhood Education course.  The people I will eventually teach have no understanding what-so-ever of the language.  They haven't been exposed to the language at all or have had very little exposure to it.  I thought that teaching overseas would follow more or less the same formula as it would here in Canada.  Think back to English class in elementary, middle, and high school, right!?  Nope, there are some similarities but there are a lot of other adjustments that need to be made to the teaching strategies used. 

Not only did I learn a lot about teaching English as a second language or a first language but I also met a wonderful group of people who share the same interest as me.  I learned a lot from these bright individuals.  I will take that knowledge and the memories along with me when I travel overseas upon graduation from University hopefully in January of 2009.  At which point my adventure will start. 

This sounds unbelievable but I will miss having to wake up at 6am every Saturday and Sunday morning to spend 9 hours learning about how to teach English overseas.  What I think I will miss the most was the time spent with my classmates.  Awesome people!  I was talking to my friend Mika, who took the course with me on MSN last night and we both agree that if we (our TESOL class) were to run an organization/business we would rock! 

I wish all of my classmates the best in their endeavours and I highly recommend taking an Oxford Seminars course for the wonderful job they do at preparing you for what will be the best experience in your life which is spreading the knowledge of English to those who really want to learn it.  You will gain a lot from this course: knowledge, friends, and wonderful memories.

I can never find a 500mL carton of 1% partly skimmed milk when I want it.  The same applies for today.  I was just going to get two 250mL cartons of fat free milk instead but then I noticed the same carton of 1% partly skimmed strawberry milk I saw on Sunday at Mary Keyes (McMaster University).  I thought, strawberry milk *shudder.*  But today I gave in and thought I would give it a try.  It's a bit on the sweet side but doesn't taste bad.  Simply put, it tastes like liquid strawberry Pocky.
