Last friday during one of my classes, one of my students asked me if I liked being a teacher, I told him I did and I wasn't lying. He seemed surprised, "Don't you get tired of teaching always the same stuff?" to which I replied I don't! I absolutely adore the language and the grammar and it's never exactly the same, each month I get to change to a different group and start all over again. Of course sometimes we get to teach the same group again, but then it's with a different course and it makes it different from the one you taught before.
The fact that I only have 3 weeks left at my work it's starting to sink in. :-/
I've been looking at flights and flats, applying for a visa and working on the material I need to bring. I'm so exhaustedly busy these days. I also started a project with my friend F and her friend Jenn, I have seriously zero time to do this right now but I had already promised I'd do it, and I think it's going to be fun anyway.
I want to see sooo many movies:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - duh. I haven't watched the soundtrack yetttt, i'm trying to avoid it.
Going the Distance - drew barrymore<33
Scott Pilgrim vs the world - Michael Cera and a kickass soundtrack.
Nowhere Boy - I've been waiting too long for this. Thomas Sangster is in it.
I'll leave you with this:

Talk to me now I'm older...
You said that you're gonna miss me more than I'll miss you. You said I'll be in a new exciting place and I won't even have the time to remember you with all the things I'll be seeing and exploring while you'll still be here doing the same things you do everyday. I said I'm gonna miss you more than what you'll miss me, cause you'll be here, home, contiuing with your life and you'll probably make new friends and go on with your life and forget about all the fun times that we have had, while I'll be away homesick and thinking about you constantly.
I might get to see London, but it still won't be the same without you. <3
I'm getting nostalgic and want to have a HP movies marathon sometime soon. Also, I might have signed up in a couple of networking sites today, I was that bored.
Sexy: Geeks, I can't help it. I'm attracted to guys with musical talents and/or brains.
Unsexy: Having to go to work early when clearly the school should not have opened this morning and on top of everything only having 2 students.
Song of the day: 12:51 by the Strokes. <333

I feel I'll love you all my life...
I'm typing this for you when I should already be at work. Classes were canceled today and maybe tomorrow because we have a hurricane, we're all good but it's raining like crazy. I'm mostly happy but a little worried because father went to work and didn't come home to have lunch because of the rain, also a bit annoyed because canceled classes mean that we will have to make up for that lost classes some time next week.
My birthday was okay, people don't seem to understand after telling them for over 20 years that I do NOT like birthdays, I do not like the big parties, the only good thing are the cakes. Maybe the presents but I think every year they get lamer and lamer so. I got clothes, money, chocolates and music, which was quite nice.
I also got one of the best presents I could ask for, a mail from who would be one of my bosses in the UK. She told me where I'm going to be living and the name of the school I'll be working. I still need to recieve an email from the school but at least I know where I'm going.
There are blond hairs on my pillow, this can only mean two things, 1) my best friend stayed over last night, and 2) she is going bald. XD I have missed her like crazy and we both got today off so we have been hanging out all last night and today.
that's it
ttfn
Sexy: Driving with your favorite people in the whole world, under the rain, listening to the Grease soundtrack. It's at times like this when I turn around and ask myself "Why the hell would I ever want to leave?"
Unsexy: Stupid txt msg hurrican alerts. I've gotten like 6 now, I forgot to pay the cell so I have to wait for people to call ME so I can't turn it off, and the goverment or whatever keeps sending me this alerts that all they say is "Be careful, we're under alert because there's a hurricane" no shit, like I hadn't heard anything about it!
Song of the day: When the Sun Hits Your Eyes by the Rumours. I have been listening to these guys all week, love.

pulling and letting go
I'm so tired of the pulling and letting go, pulling and letting go...
I feel like I get so close only to be thrown back so far away. I get news from the program and then I don't hear about them in weeks; I recieve some extra cash, only to get more bills to pay; I get a hello from you during the day, and then you completely ignore me the rest of the week. I've had enough.
Dear Universe,
I'm tired; stop playing with me.
Sincerely, me.
Sexy: Facebook inbox messages, I'm sorry I don't care about your comments on my pics, or you writing on my "wall" I'd rather get a message just for me and not because you want the rest of the world to think you're cool and have a million friends.
Unsexy: I have to wake up in like 5 hours, then I have to go see a family member who just got surgery, come back home, give my dog a bath and then go to a baseball game. busy, busy day.
Song of the day: Look What You've Done by Jet. One of my favorite songs ever, I wasn't going to post one today, but it just came on itunes and it perfectly described how I'm feeling right now, so there you go.

one, nine, six, nine...
I'm exhausted, I went back to working on Saturdays and yesterday we had an open house so we had to work all day. I truly do not appreciate standing up in normal shoes for 7+ hours, let alone standing up in high heels. Also I seriously do not like getting hit on by creepy 19 year old students and by creepy parents pretending to ask about prices for the summer course.
But aside from that I actually enjoyed it, it has been a while since we have done one of these ridiculous things to get more students. I ate waaaay too much and at the end I won a plushie from our school's "mascot" and by won I mean I exchanged it with someone else for what I had actually won. :)
I got home to find mom had gotten back with my cousins, we fight 90% of the time but I still love and missed these little monkeys. Also they came with my SIGNED copy of Megan McCafferty's Perfect Fifths, the one I won in the twitter competition:
They also brought me 21 Proms and WILL GRAYSON, WILL GRAYSON!<333 (finally) I started reading it last night and I'm already on page 138 of 300 or so... I love it, I love BOTH Wills AND I adore Tiny.
Today is Father's Day and as a present I gave my dad some money and I'm taking him to see a baseball, family sunday, right?
I adore my father more than I can say, I've punched guys on the face for him, I've broken up with boyfriends based on his advice, I've followed my dreams and done my own thing since I can remember simply because he has always showed me his undying support.
When I went through one of the biggest (and very few) major life crisis I've had, (I was hundreds of miles away from home, not talking to anybody else in my family apart from him and my cousins, broke and after actually getting broken up with) the first person I called was my father, I had to call him at work because I was afraid my mother would pick up the phone if I called home, I was a blubbering mess and crying my eyes out. He simply listened to me and patiently gave me one of the best advices I've ever had, managed to calm me down and made me feel safe even when I really wasn't. I really do not know what I would do without him.
Sexy: Tiny Cooper. XD
Unsexy: Sore feet.
Song of the day: A Song for the Metalheads by Butch Walker.
ETA: My younger cousin, and almost brother, Willie is getting married, I don't think I've never been this happy for the news about a marriage in like ever. :D

To a kid with a mullet that looked like his son
To want and to try is the difference why
Some people will walk and some run . . .thank you dad"

wishing
take me derrr.
"Once upon a time, I wanted to know what love was. Love is there if you want it to be. You just have to see that it's wrapped in beauty and hidden away in between the seconds of your life. If you don't stop for a minute, you might miss it."
Sexy: Sigh. Certain boy.
Oh, and Mexico 2 - France -0 ....
Unsexy: Being desperately anxious about everything since my mom left (havent recieved a phone call from the school or said boy)
Song of the day: Trouble by NeverShoutNever!
Because she's so
O-oh, o-oh, o-ooh
Rock 'n roll
And out of my league
Is she out of my league?
Let's hope not

Highs and lows
I just want to say I'm typing this under 5 different types of medications so I apologize in advance if this doesn't make any sense.
This past weekend was spent in bed, practically dying from both boredom and sickness, watching Toy Story 1 AND 2, twice. Leave it to me to get sick on a weekend. I literally had no voice this past Saturday, and today I'm not feeling that much better, but at least I'm breathing.
On Sunday I couldn't take it anymore and went out with my mother to the mall*, and we happened to run into my head doctor, also pediatrican and uncle, who had given me, just a couple of hours before the encounter, strict instructions not to leave the house. I swear these things only happen to me.
Maybe I'm just stressed, maybe it's that time of the month, I dunno. I'm missing the inspiration and thrive that I seemed to have early this year. Oh, my young and naive self.
I was supposed to hear from my future school this past week and nothing, I emailed them today to see what's going on. Chances are they still have my address wrong. But I feel like I can't be bothered anymore.
1) I still have to finish the material I was asigned to; 2) I haven't even started working with the presentation team, and let's face it, neither of us has that many ideas to work with; 3) I'm stressed at my current job because some of my students aren't performing that well this month; 4) I have a million bills to pay, CC, cell, etc. 5) On top of that my medicine isn't that cheap either, my uncle makes sure you get better by demanding some of the best;6) Chikis meds and vaccines were pricey; 7) I still owe money to my dentist; 8) if my mom needs money to pay for HER things, I have to lend her the money because I feel bad if I don't; 9) if my aunt and uncle can't come to bring the kids I have to give more money to my mom to go pick them up; 10) if things break around the house and I'm the one who pays for the new stuff, because I'm the one who can't sleep at night if the lock of the front door is broken and my dad says "It's fiiiiine, we'll just lock from the inside," hell no. 11) I STILL haven't heard from the school**. Sigh, I could go on and on.
I'm almost 99,99%*** sure I'm not coming up with enough money to go, hell I'm not even sure I can come up with HALF of the money to go, sometimes I feel like it's just TOO much.
But such is life, right? Isn't this what is all about? Alternating highs and lows; suffering at times so when you get to the high points it tastes so much sweeter, isn't it? I sure hope it is, and I sure hope the good ones can come up sooner.

Unsexy: Debts. Seriously.
Song of the day: Here Comes My Baby by Sons of Admirals. Basically, it's Alex Day (whose song writing style I adore, and plainly find the way he thinks and writes fascinating); Tom Milsom, ( I love the sounds that he produces, I was going to say "makes" but that just sounded wrong XD anyway, I just think he's so musically talented), Edd Plant and Charlie McDonnell. Personally, I think they still need to work on their voices, but I also think they couldn't have picked a better name. I'm already excited to listen more about them, and this is only from listening to a cover of a 60s cheesy song. So, go, listen and buy it.
* I know, I know, I'm complaining about money and still I went to the mall. Just so you know, I only got an ice cream and an itunes card this time. :-P
** Sometimes I wish they'd just mail one day and say "Sorry! we overlooked you! How about we save you a place for next year?" And then maybe, just maybe, I'd be able to save enough money to go.
*** It's that 0.01% that keeps me going, honestly.
