A Big Day

by Jay on April 29, 2010

As the title suggests, today was quite a day. Why? I thought you might ask! Any day seems to be a long day when you begin work at 7:30 am and don’t get home until 9:00 pm…wouldn’t you say?

I teach Spanish in a public high school in Westerville, Ohio, which is just outside of Columbus. I love my job! These days anyone that is lucky enough to still be employed should be happy, but I have loved my job since I first started back in 2002.

In the evenings, I am an adjunct instructor at Columbus State Community College, where I currently teach a Spanish 101 course and a Spanish 102 course.

On Thursday evenings, I tutor a student from another high school for about an hour or hour and a half each week.

I get home and still have a list of things to do, but always manage to find something more interesting to do online. I mean, I’ve got to build my blog, right?

One day I hope to write in a more professional atmosphere and hope that this blog is another way to hone my skills.

My New Internet Home

by Jay on April 28, 2010

Today, I am kicking off my new home on the internet. A Lesson in Humility comes from the famous author Sir James M. Barrie. He created many works, including his most famous, Peter Pan. He once said, “Life is a lesson in humility.” I don’t think that many of us could argue with that idea. Everyday is a new learning experience.

I begin this blog with the hopes that I will be more inspired to update it on a much regular basis. Blog burnout, I hear, is very common and that is certainly what happened to me previously. But I hope with posts about everyday life, this will be more appealing to maintain.
