Hello everyone. Top of the morning to you.
Ok. I have some news. I have been offered a teaching position on the Isle of Wight in the UK. It will be for a year. Helen I have told them that I am unavailable for the first few weeks of January and they said that is ok so our tour is definitely still on. I will be teaching in a place called Ryde at a High school that is a specialist arts and languages college.
My trip will be extended but only by a couple of months and I think my stops in Asia will be brief of will end up being skipped completely… Oh well. Next time.
I am quite excited. I thought the Isle of Wight was where the Bee Gees were born but they were born on the Isle of Man. That makes the Isle of Wight even more appealing.
As for my other job… the first two days went well. I got my curriculum sorted and organised a whole heap of stuff for him to do. On the third day I was waiting in my room to extend the mind of my one and only student and he did not show up. At about 9.20am I went to ask the secretary if he had called. She said no and then the director asked me to step into her office. My one and only student had decided to dis-enroll and I am now without a class. The director was very sorry about this and has found some things for me to do there both this week and next week which is very nice. Now that I have my UK job though, I am not overly concerned about working here anymore. I would like to do a bit of traveling before I go.
Ummm… what else have I been doing? I have been enjoying everybody’s comments. My last journal had a whole bunch of really good ones.
I watched the movie Rushmore today for the second time. I really enjoyed it. The first time I watched it I didn’t really like it but I thought I’d give it a second chance.
A task for everyone: Watch a movie you have seen and not liked but feel you may have misjudged. It’ll be good for the soul. The picture at the top is the art therapy picture I drew. Helen thinks maybe a noose? Maybe… What do YOU think? You have to try and psychoanalyse it a bit.
