Booked my ticket to the States 2 weeks ago and been sorting out all my stuff at Bekey's house since then. Seems to have been a relative success, packed up the last of my worldly goods and moved boxes to Mum and Dad&#8217;s house. Was pretty sad to be moving out, I&#8217;ve been living with my big sister for about 18 months and have really enjoyed it. Bekey&#8217;s taken good care of me (lots of delicious meals, yum) and we&#8217;ve had a lot of fun. Had lots of cuddles ...

Anyway , In the meantime we ...

Hello again! I hope everyone had a great christmas, apart from working, mine was really good. £50 in tips isnt half bad either! I worked from 10-4 and it was quite an easy day because everyone already ordered their meals, and the whole 19 members of staff (incl kitchen) were working so it was a breeze! By 5pm we then cleared the pub, set up a whole lot of tables, and recieved an xmas dinner! there were a few of us who stood in ...

... lives as citizens in this society. I think it sounds really cool. I explain it to the class, and about half of them start working on it. The other half I have to visit individually to re-explain what I just explained. Then about half of that half starts doing some work. There are still several students who simply will not do anything, despite several encouraging words and helpful tips.
