thanks, I might ask for your help later on if I decide to go for it ;oD

unfortunately the future's not in teaching... and that is very sad, because a good education is extremely important... not to mention extremely rewarding for teachers that can make a difference (of course that doesn't always happen, but it's great when it does)... sadly, life's tough and we hardly get what we want out of it, so we have to roll with the punches and hope for better days =)

oh and thanks for the follow! =D

If I told you how many deadline extensions I've asked for and how much money I've spent on my masters you'd freak out... I am a complete jackass that got the wrong degree (teaching? where's the future in that?!)... and then went and applied for a masters that is taking twice as long to finish and is on portuguese literature (what is THAT ever going to do for my future?!)...

just don't be discouraged... just allow yourself the time to blow off some steam for now and then... dust it off and go for it! =)

thanks for the reply!

yeah I've also heard about that... actually I've heard the university I went to on my erasmus year was looking for some portuguese teachers... but I was still too busy with the masters, so I didn't look further into it... but that's something I will be on the lookout for that once I finish my dissertation :)

thanks again!!
all the best, fellow teacher! hehe =D

I can't tell you how much that resembles the plans for my own life... hibernating to finish masters, earn some change teaching kids, save some... and then leave =) oh yeah and I'm already depressed, just not clinically =D

what about a masters or a Ph.D abroad?... As soon as I finish my masters here I am going to try and look for a Ph.D abroad... I was an Erasmus student for a whole year in Southampton, England and I found that the British university education system is much better that the one we have here (well what's NOT better than anything here? hehe)... so yeah I am also at a crucial point... I've got a teaching degree and as you know the situation for teacher is everything but ideal, especially for young teachers like me... I've been teaching English to primary school kids for 4 years now... I love it, but that is not making completely happy anymore and I feel that I am not moving on... so yeah, abroad is the best option :D

Are those removable guitar picks? Or just glued to the object?

If they were, they could serve both as an aesthetic object and as a place where guitar players could keep their guitar pics (instead of just being in a box). You could also make up other objects other than flowers (i am thinking a Stegosaurus as theirs backs have small "thingies" - that's the correct scientific term - shaped like guitar picks). :P

Don't take this the wrong way... it's just a bunch of stuff I thought about when I saw the post :o)
