The Blind Side

Yesterday, some friends and I were together at my place having a BBQ...we wanted to do something together to catch up with some other friends from college, but as usual, not many people showed up!

Well, after a whole afternoon eating, going to the swimming pool, and talking...we decided to go to the movies...

We didn't have many good options to choose from, specially because we go to the movies at least once a week...but, there were still one film that we wanted to see..."The Blind Side" with Sandra Bullock. I don't know...but I actually like Sandra Bullock...her films are usually nice...entertaining...and that's what I want in a film...

If you haven't seen this movie...I truly recommend! It's based on a true story...she won the Oscar for best actress and this movie won a Gold Globe award...but, honestly, the little boy who plays her son in the story really caught my attention...the little boy is so funny! Although it's considered a drama film, I just cried once (I won't tell in which part just in case some of you haven't seen it yet)...

Wondering what to post....

Yeah...It really seems I've neglected my blog...but I do have a good excuse (do I?)... hold on...let me just remember what is that good excuse I mentioned...

Honestly, everything is back on normal...working...and working...occasional hanging outs...few exercising on my bike...and lots of rain!

Carnival was by the middle of February...we, as usual, stayed in Guarapari with my mom's family. I really enjoy being with them...but, this year I had some friends staying near my place, so I could enjoy it a bit more...it was awesome!

After Carnival, back to work! Fewer groups this semester...but I like doing my job with perfection, so it takes me awhile to prepare everything for my students. Also, we are working on a new project at school which is called "Cultura Experience" (Cultura Inglesa is the name of our school). It's about having English in real life...in other words, all staff members are supposed to speak English all the time with students, clients, parents and among each other. We know how difficult it is to learn a new language...and, if you don't really see a use of the language, you can feel that there is no progress on your learning...The problem is: not all staff members speak fluent English...at least the secretaries don't! So, in the past two weeks, my boss asked me to me in charge of training the secretaries to speak some English...of course, learning English in two weeks is IMPOSSIBLE! But that training just included some chunks , common expressions for costumer service, greetings, etc...while they keep studying at the regular course...

Well, I guess that's all! Hope I didn't forget telling anything!!!!
