Hello everyone in Vancouver. I hope you are all well.
So things are really heating up here in Brisbane. A) It is bloody hot. It was 35 degrees today, with humidity hovering around 80%. That is insanity, I felt like I was living inside of a slurpee. B) I now technically have three jobs:
a) EMC International Schools: I have been hired to be an ESL teacher during the week. It is very cool. I am put in a sound proof room, and I have a computer and a camera facing me. I am speaking directly to children in a South Korean school. I also get to write on a pad, which will electronically be visible in their classroom. What it likes in proximity and intimacy, it makes up for in convenience. It will be a great stepping stone from Australia to actual teaching in South Korea.
b) Bavarian Beer Cafe: Now this, I was not expecting. I have never worked in the hospitality industry before, but I essentially sold myself.
c) ST VIDEOGRAPHY: I also picked up a nice little "side-project" of a job, doing wedding video editing. That will be good for paying for little trips all over Australia. My goal is essentially to earn $1000 a week.
Aside from that, I've been paying attention to the Canucks, streaming games whenever I can. Obviously, I predict great things for this team. Mike Gillis clearly knew something we didn't, when he signed 8 or 9 NHL ready defencemen.
I think there are too many outdoor games in the NHL now. They should take a few years off. Speaking of which, Hockey Night in Canada is actually on Sunday mornings here. Now exactly the same thing.
I'm super excited for the Oscars. I will make my predictions soon and probably have a little party. I feel like the ball is really getting rolling now. I'm firmly settled in, and I wish to formerly welcome Sasha to these fine shores. Mom and Dad, I hope you are well, and a special birthday message to Jenna Welch. You always make me smile.
Good fortune seems to be smiling on you.
ReplyDeleteAmazing how the Canucks keep going well despite the injuries on the blueline.
Regarding the Oscar, of the Best Picture nominee I saw which included King's Speech, the Kids are All Right, The Social Network, and Winters' Bone, I thought Black Swan was the best.
It looks like the old saying, "When it rains it pours" is true in your case. I am glad that you are employed and enjoying the work too. I am curious how you will like the long distance teaching job. It seems a bit odd, especially for the students on the other end.
ReplyDeleteI also think that the Black Swan will win best film and best actress. Do you have any idea about the best foreign film? Take care Mica and be good.
