Breaking The Shackles

Not a whole lot to say that you don't already know right now. I'm really tired, and we're watching Kung Fu Hustle right now. I saw it in the theater, but I thought it was a pretty good movie...

Got an email from the Church today... That was unexpected. Well Doug had to forward it to me, but it was addressed to both of us, so yea.

Classes were exceptionally bad today. It seems that once you start nearing the end of the course, the kids just don't want to pay attention any longer. I find it difficult to do anything productive, but that could also be a bi-product of my hatred towards the job right now too... I was looking at plane tickets back home today, they sure are pricey. The site I checked quoted the cheapest one being right around $1500 usd. Ouch! I'd come home broke if I did that... basically all the money I earned while over here would be spent on that. Guess that's life huh?

The school put up some Christmas trees, but just like with Halloween, they've gone and messed up the colors. They've but a lot of purple and blue tensol on the tree, so it looks more like a New Years tree, than an actual Christmas tree... I'll see if I can remember to take a picture of it so you can see how it looks. They are doing these things called Wish Cards, where the students get to write a wish on the card and hang it on the tree. Some kids end up writting what they want for their birthday instead. *shrug* I don't think I'll ever really be able to figure out what goes on in their mind.

I really wish that I could have a whataburger right now... That sounds delicious.

Using this notebook is so frustrating, sometimes it just decides not to respond. I want to destroy it.

On a sad note, one of the people I used to watch on TechTV (a tv channel) died after he had gone missing. From what I've read he and his family were driving back from Portland, OR to San Francisco, CA after Thanksgiving when they hit a snowstorm, a white out they called it. Something happened with the car and it ended up off road. They remained in the car (James, his wife, and their 2 childred (one is 4 years old, the other 4 months I think)) where the wife breast fed the children. James decided to go off to try and find help with his snow shoes, and left his wife and children behind in the car. They used all the remaining gas to keep warm, and had to resort to burning the tires. They were eventually found. Just recently, James was found dead. It's really a shame, he was a kind and family oriented man. Whenever they did anything media related on the show I used to watch, he was always showing the devices off with pictures of his children. Very sad. CNet where he used to work posted a tribute video.
