I work in an education institute producing educational materials which I then trial in classes of Chinese students. I also moonlight as an alcoholic.

That explains alot... :lol:
 
Full time English teacher, part time dancer, anytime alcoholic.

In a nut shell.


The dance is part of a skit for out company Chinese New Year party where we expect to blow the roof off with our impeccable Thriller dance. We've spent all week practising and have only 12 days before the party so need to do all the dancing we can.

There are 4 of us doing it, all of us but one are complete drunks and we expect we'll be drunk doing it on the stage on the night.
 
Have you checked all the relevant information available about it?

When I read Lance Armstrong's (Tour De France winner) biography, he found every little piece of data and info about the cancer he had to give him the best fight against it. He went on to win 7 Tours in total, after getting ill.

So don't despair too much if you can, there are ways to deal with illnesses these days and I'm sure you're old man will be strong enough to get through it OK.

I've looked it up briefly but from what we've been told there's no treatment available yet :( His brother also had it but on a much more severe scale, he simply forgot everything, memories and motor skills included. Luckily my dad's been more fortunate, he just can't see most colours anymore and he seems to have less cognitive ability than before.
 
Pretty good day. Played badminton, jogged and stretched out my body with my friend after a long week of sleeping, eating and computing. Now my body feels good!
 
Today for me is totally awesome! Went to Ingress Auto BMW with my friend and spent 4 hours there. Saw the Vision EfficientDynamics Concept, the one they used in the Mission Impossible, sat in a real brand new F10 520i which just arrived there, sat in the 320d Performance Edition and I did so many things! I am now officially in love with the F10. It just feels so nice to be in and I also got a real thick BMW 5 Series Catalog, some other brochures and stuff. I saw the new 4 Cylinder Turbo engine components which is cool. Played with the iDrive and such...

The same thing again when we visited a VW Showroom nearby and I was about to buy a VW Polo Shirt but since today is Sunday, the shop is closed. A bit of a dissapointment but still, an awesome day! :D

Lucky you, I'd be lucky to even see a brand new BMW. Unless I went 40 KM's to Wellington where the nearest City is that actually has proper car dealers.
 
Sat in Manchester Airport, waiting for my flight to Berlin. It's delayed by an hour. So I won't arrive in Berlin until about 2pm continental Europe time.

So you're often in Deutschland? Still no snow in sight for a very long time I fear, sigh.

Well, we have Auto Bavaria Glenmarrie around 8km from where I live. Ingress Auto, the showroom I went was 20km from where I live. They're not either too close or too far...
 
Cycled to work, got drenched. Fun because I have a new bike.
Danced to Thriller for a few hours.
Back seized up from over exerting myself.
Bacon sandwich for lunch.
So far, so good!
 
Doing good in my driving license class. Everything went perfectly and I'm coping very well with manual transmission car. No more clutch problem...

Nothing much for tonight, so I'd call this a day and it's a great day. 👍

Pretty bad to be honest. My dad was diagnosed with mitachondrial disease.

Im am very sorry to hear that, these things in life are very horrible. Hopefully oneday there will be treatment for this sort of thing. Goodluck.
 
Not at Uni yet. In year 11 at the moment. Looking to do mechanical engineering at Uni. Possibly Durham. What uni's would you suggest?

I hear Loughborough has a good reputation for engineering. I'm probably not the best person to ask though as I don't know first hand how other engineering courses compare to Sunderland's. However, if you're setting your sights as high as Durham, I can strongly advise against applying to Sunderland. The course is ok but it seems a little disorganised, and some areas have been cut back in recent years. Also it's not fully accredited, so you have to partake in further study to get (or fulfil a pre-requisite for) chartered status, something I didn't find out about until I was in my second year :grumpy:. Apologies for the late reply.

My day has been pretty long. Stayed up all night, which means it's still Tuesday. It's not tomorrow until i've slept in my eyes. Had the worst hangover of my life to date, threw up lots and being unable to speak from having a really croaky voice, due to some sort of throat infection. Then I started playing Football Manager and before I knew it, it was 4am so I had no real choice but to stay up else i'd miss another day of lectures. Got a long day ahead of me, but after Lectures subway is calling... Nom nom nom.
 
Going into year seven this year, start of high school in australia, and all the people from school a heading off in different directions, some people will go to that school others will got a different one ect. Any way i stayed up way to late last night so islept into about 11 so my dream was technically today. Anyway, there was this girl i liked six months ago, have gotten totally over her, but in my dream we were sitting on the oval outside. She put her head on my shoulder, then eventually in my lap . And we were just like lying on eachother in the middle of P.E with no one really noticing. I honestly have no idea where this dream came from, somewhere deep down in my mind i must have been longing for her. So yeah that dream really upset me, she aint going to my highschool, but the rest of my day was ok i guess. Played a lityle gt5 abit of nfs hot pursuit went on a bike ride. So yeah my day was ok
 
Yesterday was a really bad day. Woke up with some kind of stomach bug which had me not knowing which end of me to stick over the toilet first. Plus it was the 11th anniversary of my kid brothers death.

Today can only be better.
 
^ That's always sad to hear when it's an anniversary of a bad happening. :(

Anyway, today has had a horrible first few hours, due to weather. I was staying at a friend's house, but they don't have a spare bed now so I took the couch. It was in an open space where you could hear anything that touches the walls. Scraping banging. :mad: I couldn't get to sleep, I could hear teenagers in their little ricers trying to do burnouts and then disturbing everyone. The Police has been round the place at midnight, there was a street light beaming into the room through the curtains, with a branch waving in the wind making the light flicker. The wind was so loud you'd hear it through ear muffs with little earphones placed inside. I got about 3 or 4 hours sleep! The rest of today's been alright today, except for putting up with my own family. :rolleyes: The big no brains won't bugger off!!
 
I watched the movie "Senna" and have to admit I cried a little bit, and found out that I have enough credits to graduate, so today was pretty good.

Many people do, you're not the only one.

Today. Wake up. Strange sofa. Not mine. Hangover. Get up. Smoke. Late for work. Get to class. Drunk still. Teach class badly. Have McDonald's for the grease and feel worse. Post on GTP. To be continued...
 
Not too great of a day, everyone seems to see today as another disrespect to that thing that lives here. So I just had to hide from them. Which is hard to do when it's raining and then your dad is desperate to get electricity running in the shed. Now soon I can finally get away for awhile... Until tomorrow. :rolleyes:
 
Worst day in a while. Had an online test today which I actual read the book for and was allowed to use the book during. Problem was I remember nothing I read and we had 1hr but there was 30 questions. So it was only 2min per question which was barely enough time to read the question and try to think of the answer. I got 13/30 which sucks so much.
 
At uni, there's a giant workspace for students, one of the students had their laptop on a table up against a wall which the screen can be seen by a WHOLE bunch of students behind. We're all friends and so he leaves his laptop to go build something. One of the dudes googles a picture of a completely naked dude (when even get a shot of his stiffy), sets it as his wallpaper, and then leaves the internet browser open so it can't be seen. He comes back 45 minutes later, does some work, eventually minimizes the browser, and he flipped out! Everyone looked and saw his newfound wallpaper and laughed out loud. Guy was so cheesed for the next half hour :lol:

So how was my day? That prank made me day. :lol:
 
Can't buy beer until 2pm?! What's wrong with this place! I'm going to get sober before then, and I'm on holiday!!!! :grumpy:

Guess I should do what normal folk do and enjoy being awake early in the morning sun. But with no beer. :(

I'm getting off GTP for the morning. I'll sit here typing all bloody day if I don't log out now. And I've got stuff to do and beers to drink. Tally Ho!
