Using Video in ESL

That is the name of the class I am taking for the next eight weeks on Tuesday nights. Last night was pretty weird. I did not know how to act or what to say. I had so many weird people in my class. People with weird names ( I love those people though), people with awkward social skills, and people who talk way too much. I was torn between being nice, being sassy and being quiet. Being quiet just isn't an option since there is only eight classes and participation is 30% of my grade. I brought cookies to class, to make a good first impression as well as to be nice. One thing I've learned is that when you don't like someone, be nice to them, that way they can never say anything mean about you and therefore you have less of a reason to dislike them. Anyway, felt slightly long but they always are. It's three and a half hours. I didn't make any new friends. There were about seven new people, that is people who I did not already know, out of twenty total students,  including myself. My teacher is foreign which I always think is weird because they teach ESL but it also makes sense since English Language Learners know more about the English language than native speakers. And they know what works best because of their own experience. However, I think some of the students in my class will distract me and cause me to shut up most of time. Okay, enough about me. Go out and live. Do a favor for a friend. K

Letters

Some time ago I sent some letters to my friends, five friends and I just got one reply today. I don't know if it's just me but if someone takes the time to pick out stationary and hand writes me a letter I am definitely going to give them a reply and not acknowledge their hard work and love. I personally love writing letters to people. If you ever need a love letter just let me know. The one reply that I did get was really awesome because I was telling her some things about my life that I'm not too excited about and wanted some advice but I found what I wanted without her letter but it's nice that she thought enough of me to reply and try to help me. She's one of very few people who I believe know me and love me. Sometimes I find that people who really get to know me choose to not love me or stick around, so it's really special when I have some who know and love me and even greater if I'm super mean to them and they know it's just a facade and they just smile and laugh and hug me. Those are the best people a girl could have. That's just something I wanted to say today. Oh and besides doing laundry yesterday I finished a scarf. And now I should probably get ready for school which doesn't start until 5:30. Wish I had some idea of what to until then. Anywho, enjoy your Tuesday, make a stranger smile. I'm bringing cookies to class to make someone smile. Much love, K

Laundry

I don't think I've ever told you how much I dislike doing laundry. It is like my least favorite things to do. I don't know why but it took me all day to just get the motivation to go shower and then sort out the clothes and then taking them downstairs. Once I do that it's pretty much smooth sailing unless I find something really interesting to do that distracts me which happened while my clothes were drying. I started watching Bones online. It was very interesting. Luckily, no one decided to do laundry on a Monday night besides me, so I had the whole place to myself. So after I finally get my dry clothes upstairs I leave them in the hallway. I don't even think about those clothes until hours later. It's really sad. Sometimes I would wash clothes and just leave them in the laundry bag until I absolutely needed them. But I made an effort tonight and unpacked 2 out of three bags of laundry I had. I just need to find somewhere to put all of these clothes. When I get older and have my own place and a job I'm going to just buy new clothes or just wear clothes more than once and try to wear the clothes as much as I can before they have to be washed because this whole laundry thing is not floating my boat. Anyway, I did do some cleaning and showering which isn't too bad. I actually love to clean. Hope you had a very fabulous Monday. Happy eleven months to my boyfriend. K

First Day of School

Today is the first day of school. Yay! No, no yay. I'm a little tired and having a hard time getting out of bed. I  must do my laundry but don't want to take the time to sort it out or put on shoes or walk to the elevator and take it to the lower level to swipe my card that opens the door and enter the laundry room where there is so much light and cold air and big tv and cameras. I just want someone to come and do it for me. Laundry is probably my least favorite thing to do. I wonder how much it would be to have those people at the laundry mat to wash them for me. Anyway, I'm not that rich so I have to get this over with. After that, I want to go to Queens to visit an old lady I know of. And I guess later tonight I should clean this mess of a room as well as pack my book bag for class tomorrow but class is like at 6 pm so I have all day Tuesday. TTFN

NVM, I'm staying home and do laundry right after this Snickers bar...

In A Slump

For the last two days I have been in some kinda of slump/funk. I didn't have anything to do so I just sat in front of the television and watched more shows than I can count. Yesterday I even watched that Kourtney and Kim take Maimi thing as well as the Real Housewives of Hollywood. I think that might have been my lowest point. Anyway, this usually happens after I read a book, a good book where the characters are exciting and I just can't put the book down. And I'm left wondering, well, what happens now? Well what actually happens now is that I go back to my life of updating my blog, going to school which starts in two days, going back to work, in a couple of weeks, and doing the other million jobs that I have. I don't think anyone would want to read a book about my life but it's mine so I should make the most of it. I also want to thank my very best friend Johnny for always making me smile no matter what. He always brings me back to Earth when I'm in a funk. He's definitely one of the many good things I have in my life. Also want to thank my boyfriend for putting up with me the whole day, know I wasn't the most lovely person to talk to but he called me anyway. And for now that's it. Going to try and live this life the best way I can, hope you do too. Much love, K

Coming Soon

So my birthday is in 31 days and I'm already thinking about all the things I want to do. I guess I should say what I want for my birthday which is just more books. Actually just one book. It's Hans Christian Anderson's Fairy Tales. I had a copy but seem to have misplaced it. And if not that then I want The Girl Who Chased the Moon or Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen or The Other Woman, Babyville, or Promises to Keep by Jane Green. Also I think I need the last three books of the Artemis Fowl Series. Okay now back to business. So I think next month, I'll knit or crochet four scarves and raffle off one each week of the month. Sounds like a marvelous plan to me. As well as I shall write a friend a letter each day and send some love to my very dear and close friends. Any other suggestions, let me know. Much love, K

Oh and I think I want to have a birthday party but who's going to plan that for me. Hmmm.
Update: I have the first three books that I mentioned earlier. Sorry if anyone planned on getting me those.

Mini-vacation

Since I've been on break from school I haven't really been on a vacation, so this weekend I decided I was going to have one. I did not get out of my pajamas unless I absolutely had to and I think we'd all consider running out of toilet tissue an absolutely have to go to the store situation. And this morning I had to teach sunday school so I had to do that for about an hour. And now I'm home. I've been reading three books at once, one more than the others and one less than the others. But I'm just loving it. If you're like me and love to read, you know you get stiff sitting or lying in one spot for too long so all afternoon I've been moving from my room to the living trying not to get stuck in one spot but now that my grandma is back from church, I'm forced to stay in my room where I have control over the noise volume. Now I'm just wishing I could go to a library or something. Anyway, another thing I want to do on my vacation is bake. I want to bake some chocolate chip cookies and maybe a cake but with layers. Man do I need to get paid. School starts in about a week and work soon after that. Hope you all are enjoying yourselves. Much love, K

Bloody Pain

I hope you all are enjoying yourselves and are having a fabulous winter break, if you are in school and if not, well I hope you are still enjoying your break. So far I have read two books and have been keeping up with the walking and drinking water except for yesterday. It's that time of the month and I was in too much pain to walk yesterday but maybe today I'll make my way down to the gym and get on the treadmill to walk a couple of minutes or miles. We'll see how that goes. Anyway, boyfriend is here spending some time with me after being a meanie. He brought me hot chocolate this morning which was very nice of him and helped in the process of forgiving him for ignoring his wonderful girlfriend last night. lol He says it's borderline narcissism. Oh well, maybe I am a little bit but he's stuck with me so he's just gonna have to suck it up. I'm just kidding, overall just him showing up was pretty awesome of him. Love this guy and hope you all are enjoying yourselves and spending time with someone who thinks the sun shines out of your butt cause I know I am. Much love, K

New Year

So it's a new year, yea who cares. Time is meaningless. All the matters is what you do with it. I want to make sure all the people I care about know that I care about them. And that the people I love know that they are loved. And I may want to try and show love to people I actually don't love but will do something kind for just because I can. I think I'll do monthly resolutions, maybe, we'll see if I can remember them. I would like to walk more for the month of January and maybe drink more water and try not to get sick. That's what January will be about. February is my birthday so maybe I shall make someone else feel special that month. Send letters to all my friends around the country and make someone smile. That's all I have to today. Hope all is well and God Bless. K
