Hey y'all!  I'm sick...well, recovering.  It's been a kind of rough ride lately though.  See, my mom's boyfriend is back in town, and he invades our home.  I wouldn't get so upset about it except that I've been sick...normally I'm not in the house for very long throughout the week.  But since I've been sick, I've had to be in the house, alone, with him, and he annoys the crud out of me.  It would be one thing if he was very loving to my mom and whatnot, but he hasn't exactly been the best of boyfriends for her and I think she's wasting her time.  Then, he's obsessed with tennis, so for the past 3 weeks, all we've been watching has been the Australia Open.  Yikes!  I'm tennised out.  Oh, and he criticises my health and diet (which I have none...I am a full-time college student who works part-time and goes to church, is trying to learn Chinese...etc) and he puts our house thermostat under 70. 

I can't wait until I feel better enough to go to work...isn't that wild?  I'm actually wanting to go to work!  Other than the fact that I get paid for working...I just want out of this house!!

Next weekend, I've put together an ESL training seminar for our church in cooperation with our State Convention (SCBO).  I'm pretty excited...it's going to be a refresher course for me, since I've already been trained when I taught in Southeast Asia, but there are people in my church pumped about it.  It's another big step towards my goal of starting English classes in Chinese restaurants throughout our area.  Anywho, I've got to head off to Greek class...the only class I could never miss.  Have a great weekend!
