Peyton Manning


There's a quarterback named Peyton Manning who does this thing called 'audible.' Meaning: change the play at the line of scrimmage. I just pulled a Peyton Manning. Funny, I want to study his way of thinking....bahah

Canada recruiter wants me to leave as of Aug. 14th...Oxford, the people i went through to get my Teaching English as a Foreign Language certification said Monday when I was doing TIDE that I could leave as early as Sept. I have a college degree (as of aug. 12) and TEFL certification. So rushing me leaving, isnt a good idea. I have many choices.

Its a bad idea to leave because I don't wanna live at my moms and/or dads.

I was sweeping up at Freebirds the other day (new job) and I was thinking how bad I wanna go, just not so soon. Then I realized what I was doing, sweeping at a job that I'm working to buy me beer.



So story is, Switzerland, Germany, Korea, Japan.

One of those countries I will go to, I can leave for Korea quite soon, even not going through Canada. I could leave for Switzerland quite soon as well, they'll even pay me between 2000 euros to 8000 euros. Thats between 2900 and 7900 american dollars.

Or I could go to Germany which would give me between 800 to 2000 euros. Again, not as lucrutive as Korea (1500 to 1700 a month American bucks)

so, again, i'm calling my recruiter (which i have 3 working for me) tomorrow, to see what kind of jobs I can get in Switzerland or Germany....or Korea.

So again, it all depends on tomorrow....

all depends on tomorrow


so i got the email that i've been waiting for. i have a start date (that is pending for confirmation from the school tomorrow). The date is three weeks from tomorrow, aug. 14.......


HOLY......shit!

but i do love showdown and skydiving...

The city will be Mopko City, South Korea. Its a harbor town on the freaking, flinging flanging coast. 

i also just started a gig at freebirds in san marcos so if i don't get this job tomorrow, i'll have to stick around there for a quhile. i also gotta finish up college, as i'm taking an independent study that requires about 30 minutes a day, not a lot. just an annoying part of my day....fun though

i hope i do though, seriously, everything rests in my gmail mail box and a guy named shane. hopefully i get great news tomorrow...

Waiting on an email

Hm, so I'm sitting in the swamp a year after the last time i was typing into one of these text boxes. it was something about, 

not having any teeth...
getting a's in classes (that ended up dictating my gpa)...
something about how much i loved (and now miss beyond all words)
and something about a guy named curly, or russ, pete, kate, or a kick ass group of friends...

now, last time i sat at THIS computer, i was blogging about how i'm on my way to applebees to drink away my friends tom and rachel. haha, miss those kids, know they're doing great though. you may have noticed that my vocabulary has gotten a little better, maybe even the grammar. 

(did you know grammar was spelled with an AR, hm)

i've learned lots about grammar and vocabulary the last couple of days, regardless of jed's wedding, or a few great nights out. chances are the vocab and grammar (obviously not spelling) has grown because...i graduated college a few fridays ago...i gotta b, then an a in my last class, dealt with the 'automatic sweetheart' and some weird ass professor. another reason my grammar has grown is because i'm taking a class on how to teach english, because...

i'm going to korea for a year to teach english. Thats Jeollanam-do South Korea. Not north...duh

only problem is, i'm waiting on an email. the company is called canadian connections, they're supposed to send me a start date...in may. i got a job during finals last semester, and now i'm just awaiting a start date. so its just waiting around for an email that will tell me when i leave...i've got all the paper work together, just waiting for an email, they're not getting a contract till i know where and when i'm going, thats called "how not to get screwed 101"...seriously, i took that class last semester. no wait, it was "how to get screwed" and it was called exercise physiology...haha, thats right.

thats the story. that could be my view from my new porch in freaking korea!

i'm in this class now that is also offering job placement within six months and if no job, i get my money back for the class...wooo hooo...but, i got a note from my professor in class today that says KOREA IS HIRING!!! so, supposedly i'm going to korea, then to graduate school...at UT, haha, i hope. seriously, that may not happen...
