So You Want To Teach In Asia! Sunday, July 25, 2010. Warm Desks and Muddy Friends! Sorry for not updating sooner. My mom pointed out to me the fact that it is has been more than two weeks since my last entry. I know that there are (at least a couple of you) besides my mom who read this, so sorry to keep you waiting! Much of my time recently has been consumed by studying for the GRE.but I'll talk about that later. Here's the update. Boram making a wish. And blowing out the candles. We started by walking a...

Adventures in SoKo: April 2010
http://bareyourseoul.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
So You Want To Teach In Asia! Thursday, April 22, 2010. Surrounding Yourself with the Right People! Today I got arguably the nicest e-mail I've ever received. Sitting at my computer waiting for some students to finish up an activity I checked my Gmail account. Up popped an message from one of my favorite people, Jo Anna Popielarski. The e-mail included a short note from Jo Anna and a forwarded message from a newsletter she receives. The attachment said the following:. What if the timing had been off and ...

Thoughts, curiousities and general ramblings: October 2010
http://allisonjw11.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Thoughts, curiousities and general ramblings. Monday, October 4, 2010. Heart vs. Heart. I've never been a believer of love. Instead, I've lived my life based on a fairly tight-knit workaholic philosophy. Relationships are more like dream-killers than fairy tales. Sure, I hear the sappy songs on the radio and think to myself for a brief moment as I picture a white picket fence and teeny baby clothes, ‘Gee, that would be nice.’. Broncos hockey games, panic over the H1N1 pandemic, Frontier Days, events at t...

Thoughts, curiousities and general ramblings: June 2010
http://allisonjw11.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Thoughts, curiousities and general ramblings. Friday, June 18, 2010. Prairie skies reach even the biggest city hearts. Whoever it was who biasedly referred to people living in small towns as inexperienced, unworldly or sheltered from real life must have been a New Yorker — because my experiences over the last few months have proved that theory otherwise. Being raised in Toronto, I had the big city at my fingertips. If I’ve learned anything of importance so far, it’s that there is nothing more...Big-city ...

Thoughts, curiousities and general ramblings: Listen to the Spleen
http://allisonjw11.blogspot.com/2010/01/listen-to-spleen.html
Thoughts, curiousities and general ramblings. Tuesday, January 26, 2010. Listen to the Spleen. What's the best way to predict the weather, you ask? Well, with a pig's spleen, of course. At least, that's the theory of Jeff Woodward, pig spleen weather forecaster extraordinaire. Hailing from Regina, Woodward picked up the old time tradition of spleen reading from his Uncle Gus Wickstrom, who became famous for his knack for spleens nearly 10 years ago. So, how does it work? If you look at the spleen, it's g...

http://allisonjw11.blogspot.com/2010/01/pig-spleen-weather-forecast-for-january.html
Thoughts, curiousities and general ramblings. Tuesday, January 26, 2010. Pig Spleen Weather Forecast for January to June 2010. Mild from March 1 to March 15 with plus temperatures. Colder temperatures in the last half of the month starting on St. Patricks’ day around 0 to -5C. Look for a blizzard between March 2 and March 10.

Thoughts, curiousities and general ramblings: It's more than a matter of trust
http://allisonjw11.blogspot.com/2011/04/its-more-than-matter-of-trust.html
Thoughts, curiousities and general ramblings. Tuesday, April 5, 2011. It's more than a matter of trust. The next exercise at the writing workshop asked us to describe something we've done, either real or made up, that is unforgivable. This is what I dreamt up. I was always so. Scared I would hurt him. I'm selfish. A coward. I thought I could overcome it. I begged him to marry me, to commit his life to me, his soul. To trust me. I knew I couldn't do it. Be faithful. And I proved myself right. Well, with a...

Thoughts, curiousities and general ramblings: May 2010
http://allisonjw11.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Thoughts, curiousities and general ramblings. Thursday, May 6, 2010. Paying it forward, mailbox-style. Allow me to start off by first rising to my feet, slapping my hands together in applause and shouting loudly: “Newspaper carriers, I salute you! It’s cold, it’s wet, it’s exhausting, it’s underpaid — but somebody’s got to do it, right? Last week I — and admittedly with some resistance — agreed to be one of those somebody s. After going through the paces in the shoes of a porta. After nearly three hours ...
