Ooo. It's very sad. All of my friends are scattered around the world now. I think we should have a reunion soon... What do you say?

Oh wow. It's been so long.
I graduated. 4 years was both a long time and a short time......
Well. Towards the end of my last semester in college, I found out that there is this institute that trains people to become English teachers for non-native speakers. So that's what I have been doing for the past 3 weeks. And oh man. I really like it. When the students tell you: good lesson, good lesson. We learned something today... it just makes me go WOW, it feels good. And the people that I have the training with, they are a fun bunch. I think I am gonna miss them when I all finish and go our own ways.
Other than that... I have been enjoying Boston and not have anything to do besides doing my TEFL homework. The weather is not so great all the time, but I am getting the most out of it. At least I try.
It's a weird feeling... When you walk down the street and there is no one around. It just makes you wonder... where did all the people go? This street is supposed to be packed with drunk freshmen on a Friday night! But oh well. I guess I just can't get over the fact that I am not a college student anymore. As much as I want to, I am done with college (even though I am still living on campus, wah ha ha ha ha).
That's the other thing too. I can't believe that I can't live on this street anymore. Well, unless I come back to the same college for grad school and become an RA again. Hm. That's not a bad idea. :-P
But all in all... I wanted to say. It's never what you study that you are going to do for the rest of your life. I didn't think I will take this program. I didn't think I will actually consider become a teacher. And it's not for sure yet either. I will have to work on it. BUT hey, you never know. As long as I set my heart on something, I can probably achieve it. So there you go. Come back in 10 years... and ask me if I taught or not.
Well, I better go back to class... :-)
