Time Seems To Be All I Have.....

Hello there people...what is going on in Old Man Robb's world? Still waiting on my book from Acadia U.. "Methodology in Language Teaching: An Anthology of Current Practice." has still not arrived, i know it has to come from the States...but i guess im just impatient..a friend of mine who went to NSCC told me that she thought her transcripts had been sent and waited two weeks to find out they had not been sent. Lazy people? Not too sure, i just know that it is no fun playing the waiting game, especially when you want to get started on something, get finished and then be able to put myself out there in the job market, there seems to be a glut of ESL jobs right here in Nova Scotia, and i would like to have my TESOL training so i can join in the hunt so to speak.

Besides the course im waiting on, EDUC 4673:Teaching English as a Second Language. The other two parts of Acadia's TESOL program are called EDUC 4683: Linguistics for Teachers and EDUC 4863: Acquisition of Language. I plan on doing them one after the other and i am in good standing so that i can do this financially as well...maybe not Richie Rich, but able to scrounge enough do that i can acquire these three courses, plus they are also Education courses and that i like because it gives me a chance to show waht i can do after being turned down by Acadia's Bachelor of Education program back in 2008.

What else happened this week? Well Friday i made a trip up to Kentville to pay off my first speeding ticket since 1995. Yes Yes Old Man Robb had a frickin speeding ticket that he picked up on Thanksgiving going for a drive to Halifax/ Passage...only to find out Hooters was closed...LOL... just my luck was that the Olympic Parade was happening right in front of the Kentville law building and i was in the right place for this opportunistic shot...

Yes Friday was a great day...i also got to pick up a LONG OVERDUE DVD by the way also...

Ever since i rented this one back in the Passage days, it's been a Robb favorite.. basically a rip-off of Porky's and made in Canada for like $9.99...definitly a DVD to check out...with Blackbelt Jones arriving on DVD, all i need is for Up The Creek to come out and my life will be complete!

I capped my week off yesterday by watching my nieces and watching the SMU-Calgary game ..was weird to see their former coach and star quarterback wearing the colors of the Calgary Dinos. Then after that i went to Acadia and caught some Axemen basketball.. The Axemen beat UNB 88-79 and extended their winning streak to 4 games. Still the place wasn't full...back in the days before internet, texting, Ipods and all the rest, the athletic events were the place to be seen on campus, it is part of the lazy generation i guess, as in technology has made us lazy... we are all victims of it. Still would love to see attendance pick up, esp with basketball and hockey (7 game winnng streak!) on such a roll. Me? Well i will continue to attend the games as usual. :)

Anyways folks, that is all from here..gotta work at 2:00..yes Old Man Robb is Working For The Weekend...even though its almost done and over..have a good one folks...
