Here is a series of videos in which I rehearse the lines I've just said. THANKS MOM AND DAD for the Iphone. the me-tele. the efficientandstreamlinedandnon-excessiveyetlavish fone. ifone. if one. if one were to... oh dear!
AND having said this, I eat my words. Apparently, the Iphone 4 is not compatible with my old mac. I will solve it I will solve it. Until then, may the suspense smolder!
I will instead leave you with an image. And that is the lock store across the busy street from my alley. Early every morning, perhaps be around 6 or even a darker hour, some unusually muscled Viet storekeeping-loyals must turn a key to a lock or a few locks and with a hard upward shove collapse the metal fence of the lock box establishment. In this brave motion, the physical vigor of which they no doubt enjoy, these folks unveil a rubic of heavy metal cubes intending to house your most attractive and universally valuable owns. Then,one by one, they must escort each throwned royal of an inanimate onto the skirt of sidewalk in front for a formidable presentation of potential service to the casual walker or focused lock-box seeker. This is where I come in (casual walker). At the earliest around 7, which these days isn't as likely, so usually after 9, I can be spotted tracing the length of the red (gray) carpet of my uneven concrete alley to the coffee lady, where I catch a view at the end of my nose of the faces of these fearful promisers, the lock boxes. The round black dials can't help but remind me of the snobby doorknob of Alice's wonderland. And I suppose it is a classy number to possess, a lock box, as, of course, who would own a thing of such weight and domineering stance, without exquisite importance to uphold. I would love to get one and keep my baby teeth and birthday cards in there, along with some seriously confessional journal entries. And then temptingly drop the key at a neighbor's door with convenient directions. Of course, upon further thought, I realize this may be too involved as I'd have to hire labor to translate said entries and directions into Vietnamese for any true understanding in the trespasser.
Hi! This is probably one of the most random comments you will ever get, so don't say I didn't warn you! I was playing around online and looking into different teaching programs overseas, and Language Corps came up. Under one of the pages on there were lots of blogs/testimonies/videos of people who had been in the program. I was just wondering how Language Corps was, how it equipped you to teach...basically just how helpful it was to you. I am thinking about going overseas to teach and I would love any advice! Thanks in advance.
