The Crap Shooter

Well, all of our teachers (try to) teach English English (which I love English English I mean - not the teachers). And when she said "realm" wrong (she pronounced it as "reəlm" - ray-ahlm) and we said it should be pronounced "relm" (a.k.a. the right way) she just said: "maybe that's the American way of pronouncing it." while it's the same pronounciation in English and American English. And the other teachers even said that kids that don't know English that well, benefit from her classes... I'm still trying to figure out how they can draw such a silly conclusion...

Learning languages from a person that's not a native speaker of said language sucks big deal... that's why I haven't tried to learn japanese around here yet.

Well, just come over and go to school here for a year. That would fix that.

If I had more money maybe I would (not sure about actually going to school, though).. but since I'm already going to London in between my exams and the results, I need all my money for that..

We actually do have native speakers at school but they only teach bilingual because they can't speak Dutch very well..

To cold to even post today. The computer keeps freezing. Ask JH if he knows what cold is. He lives up here too.

Tell us numbers. Celsius please (read: USE METRICS!!!)
We temporarily dropped below -20°C last week. Today the snow melted - poor snow men
And I got some late christmas greetings for the Fan Art page. I guess she drew it because it's been too cold to go out. So it can be a good thing, too.

Ok, yesterday, we started out at around -29c, it warmed up to -18 though. Today it's rather warm, its just -20 and should get all the way up to -15. Tomorrow is supposed to be the coldest day of the year, so far. Bad part, it keeps getting windy. we get wind chill factors of more than -45c. that's nasty. Snow here probably won't melt for a couple months.

Friggin' accountants and their unclear language... now I have to rewrite most of the accounting module...

[Hiki]

That has got to be nasty... rewriting a module...

Turns out people (the teachers) at school won't help us at all when it comes to my English teacher -_-... They just say: "We can't do anything about it if it doesn't mean that you'll fail your exams.." Because good grades don't matter anymore apparently...
