sleep in...

yay today I got to sleep in cos my first class isn't til 4th period, so I have to get to school by 11.40am, nice eh! And a quick shout out, biking has become such a joy since having my ipod!

Yesterday in the office went surprisingly fast! I was kept busy doing my CELTA test thing. I haven't finished it yet though. There is a lot I don't seem to know about the English language unfortunately! I was writing this mini-essay trying to say that perphaps French people would have fewer difficults learning English than Japanese because of such things as word order... But when I looked up on the trusty internet, I think I may be wrong...I don't know a thing about French you see! So I think I am changing the argument to say German people may have fewer difficulties..!? Anyway hopefully I will get it don't this week and sent away. I also read some of the great book "Paranoia" that Meag left. One of the critics at the front of the book said "last year belonged to Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code, this year belongs to Joseph Finder's Paranoia" so I was intrigued. It was really good, exciting, fast-paced. But I think the ending sucked unless I missed something...which I don't think I did... Meag, what did you think?

Right I better go shower and get ready for school. I have to talk about Easter, which I find difficult as Easter is a very complex holiday. How are 2-nen-sei students going to get how Jesus was crucified and then rose from the dead...!? But maybe they will...

i think german apparently is more similar to japanese too. someone told me that... i forget who. but the words sounds similar both being germanic languages...didn't uyou major in linguistics? and a tip for when teaching the kids about easter.it always baffled me how this guy born at xmas, died at easter and managed to age like 30 years inbetween.
