I love my Mac Mini... I really do! I've installed Parallels Desktop, Windows XP, Ubuntu (Linux) and Virtue Desktop, and now I can run Windows, Linux and OS X on my beautiful Mini all at once, and the speed ain't too bad. :D See my Tech Blog for all the gory details (and feel free to send comments and questions). I've also downloaded a bunch of high resolution desktop backgrounds and told OS X to put a new one every 30 minutes. Pretty cool! :D
Our school has a new teacher. Her name is Tamar. She's from L.A., California. I think she's pretty cool. Her friend Pooya - not sure if I get the spelling right - works at the Haeunday branch in another part of town. It's about a twenty minutes subway ride, so it's not too bad. They both just got MacBooks so I'll teach them a few neat Mac tricks. ;-)
I'm still worried about Barbara's health. She doesn't eat. But she's been avoiding me for the last month or so. We exchange greetings at the school, but that's about it. If I drop by her place, she's just never there, so I haven't had a decent conversation with her in a loooooong time. Oh! Well... If she really doesn't want to talk to me, that's her choice. She's old enough to make her own decisions.
Some kids give me a hard time. I'll have to be tougher on them. When the kids don't listen, we waste a lot of time and we cannot finish the lesson. In general, I don't like dealing with discipline. I'd rather get kids to enjoy English and to work hard because they enjoy it, but it's not always possible. I'm a decent teacher, but I need to kick myself in the a** to keep improving. Decent is just not good enough.
Feel free to e-mail me or to write comments here. I'll start updating more frequently.
