UPDATE: Things are looking up.
School, normal day's rantWell, didn’t want to talk about this before it happened and jinx it, but I started a new job last week. Driving a truck and doing a little AutoCAD work on the side. It’s for a company that I have been rented to in the past and I have worked with many many times before. SO I started working for them on Monday and worked everyday since. Work canceled for me on Saturday but I will still able to get a few hours of overtime. Anyway things look good, Truck is great and people seem cool, I hope the hours keep up.
Anyway, on a side note, my German teacher left me a few months ago. So I decided to not let that stop me from learning German. I have wanted to learn that language for a long time and even though, I had some “difficult” feelings, I decided to carry on. I met a wonderful girl named Nelli a few weeks ago and she is a very sweet German/Russian girl that has the patience of a saint. I tried reading the BBC website in German but the words were just to hard, so I read Hansel and Gretel to her in German, while she corrected my pronunciation. I picked up most of the pronunciation fairly quickly with some exceptions. Like “ei, ie”, those bastards are killing me. So I want to thank her very very much, she has not only put up with bad slow reading, but also helped motivate me by being happy (or at least acting like she is) that I said something correctly. SO, Nelli, thank you very much, and I am sorry to torture you with the bad, slow German with an American accent. You have amazing patience and haven’t lost your temper once even though I make the same mistake time and time again. Again, thank you . So world, here my patient German teacher and good friend, Nelli.
