Yesterday was really cool. Bao, one of Sunny's friends who lives in the house intvited me to his school to watch him do a demo lesson. It was really interesting cos the center is teaching pronoucation. The students pay to be there, so they listen more.. Stayed there for 3 hours, learnt some new methods which was good.. but geeze I was tiered. After school had a call from Tim saying that his guitarest may need to leave the country which would suck, he sounded quite miffed:-( I grab some food and head home... Filling out the rest of my Canadian application ready for tomorrow when the last round of applications are taken for the year... Tim's fallen asleep early for a change bless him, he was super sleepy zzzzzz
Not sure what to do about the motorbike job.. I'm suddenly getting jobs thrown at me and the agency that I did a demo lesson for during the day orignally said they'd get back to me in 2 weeks, and late on in the arvo she's calling me telling me to go to 2 schools?! Its good, obviously i'm getting paid.. But i feel bad for texting work telling them I can't come in till so and so etc.. I hung out at the shop after the demo- It went well.. Had kids punching me in the stomach? lol! They were like 4-5 I think.. Did some flashcards with them, sang some songs and ran around the room for 30mins! I think kindy is more for me.
Waking up today was a headache.. Had to get up a bit earlier cos I had to be at the center at 08:30 and cos I still don't know my way around too much I give myself an hour even though its like 15mins.. Traffic is HELL in the morning.. Tim and I drive some of the way, chasing each other down the road before we split off.. I find the center OK, get in and met Ms Hung, who's very pretty and typically Vietnamese.. We sit upstairs watching some dance rehursals are taking place.. After about an hour of watching these kids dance around I'm told its our turn??? huuuh? I get a mic shoved in my face.. OOOH thats right I'm getting up infront of these 100odd kids and teaching?! OOOO-K... It was easy duno why I moan, it just threw me off guard and they were so sweet.. After like, 15mins we go back downstairs and I'm told thats it, home time.. Its like 10am?! Tim's not back till 11ish for break and I don't have keys.. hhhmm.. I track down the Big C thinking I can get some cheap clothes... Nope, all too small. DAMN IT haha.. End up getting some girlie bits all came to under 10bucks inc makeup which back in Aus would of cost 15 alone, its just crazy cheap!
I get back to the house, and wait for 10mins before Tim arrives.. We have some lunch down the road, grab an ice cream and have a little walk back. Its becoming warm now and I'm suuuuper excited about the summmmer, rooooooof toooooop :D
Bless Tim, he leaves me the keys so I can continue sleeping.. He comes back at 3 and thats good cos then it means I have time to grab a coffee by green lake and then head to the school to collect my flashcards.. I grab a coffee (which is amazing, its like chocolate milk..) and head over. I'm happy that I remembered the way:) I get there, get the flash cards and head out..
UUURRRRGH I drive around in circles DAMN IT.. The traffic is SO bad, SO bad..
This address doesn't exsist and I call the center... I had to sit outside a chemist charging my phone from the adapter outside cos the battery was going flat.. UURRRH. She finds me, but I noticedd I haven't got my scoot key.. FFS! I walk up and down where I'd been walking, thank goodness the shop owner that I sat outside found it and gave it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Geeeze,.. The woman is a bit stressed cos they want this new contract with this school and I'm about 30mins late.
The place we end up in is definately not the address she gave me, so HA! Can't get pissy with ME as you GAVE me the wrong address...The class had only 4 girls in, very quite.. But we play some games, an towards the end I was impressed with myself for engaging them for so long, and at the end they had definately opened up a bit.. which was nice to see!
I get back and realise its TIIIIME for my Canadian visa application. Its all done, I stayed up late last night finishing it.. So it should be a case of just submitting right?..
WRRRONG! Hasn't opened? Tim calls and tells me that its definately not opened yet cos he's logged in since 18:45 ready for me :) He's quite busy with lesson planning when I get in, so i just finish reading my book and chat with Sunny on the phone..
I'm hungry so I pop out to get us some food.. As I'm about to pull off i hear "LOOOOORRIE, ITS OPENED...." I race upstairs, and after a bit of waiting my visa for Canada has been sent off!!! YYYEEEEEH BUDDY! F**k I'm excited.. I call Sunny and scream down the phone to him ahaha. So hopefully if I'm approved I'll aim to fly out January time.. Sunny will be flying out this September.. I'll see how money is around that time. May even go back to London for 3-6months before after finishing off SE Asia, as I'm here.. make some money see the fam and fly out of london.. ? HHHMM we'll have to see..
GOD I HOPE I GET IT!
