There are just 17 more days left until I set foot back on American soil.
I've been super busy but I wanted to update you all on the craziness that has been going on as
the deadline approaches.
First:
In two days I'll finish my Cambridge CELTA (Certification of English Language Teaching for Adults)! I've been taking this intensive course for 3 months now and it feels great that to finally be finishing tomorrow.
My TO DO list today:
1. Write up last Teaching Practice about Dreams and 2nd Conditional grammar
2. Finish all of my DF's for remaining 14 Units (this may take all day)
3. Do last online observation with write-up.
If I'm able to finish all of this before my friend Tatlihan's birthday party tonight then I'll work on editing some photos for my portfolio from the Seoul Fashion Week 2010 show. I had so many shots and video from that show that I never really got to editing them all.
Second
Follow me, Joshapalooza, as I traverse the globe to learn more about the world I live in and myself. I post a lot about self improvement, working abroad as an ESL teacher, and my recent endeavor of breaking into the photography world

A night at the police station
Wednesday night is still very much a blur.
Everything happened so fast.
One moment I was dancing with friends and the next moment I was being whisked away to the police station.

Teddy's legal!
Today was an interesting day.
Since I don't have class until 11:10am I slept in until 10am. I just had two and a half classes today because I had an unexpected trip to the police station to pick up my residence permit!
That's right, I'm not a foreign resident of Turkey! Now I just need my work permit and I'm all set :)
So a funny thing that happened to me today. The supervisor of the 3rd grade building called me in to his office. Now he doesn't speak english so I came in. I had a student with me that had forgotten his books at home for 2 days in a row. I was going to make him eat lunch with me but the supervisor just chastised him and away he went. Then he offered me a chocolate.
Now you'd think it wouldn't be hard to accept such a gift but they had a round bottom and I couldn't get the piece of chocolate out. so I tried to pop it out of the package. I was successful..except it popped out and hit the supervisor before falling to the floor!
He looked at me and said "Why!?!" I could just say "sorry, it was stuck" The other one next to it came out with much less trouble and then he motioned that I could go. haha
