Getting started

Hello guys, my nickname is Brooke, I have been called this since 5th grade, when my friends started calling me like this. But anyways, that's not what I wanna talk or write about. I created this blog in order to write everything that goes inside my head and also what my plans for the future are, and am... whatever I want. Right now I am sitting on an office chair and it does not feel good at all. That's one of the biggest reasons that led me to create this blog. Well, the thing is, I was working at an english course (and thank God, I'm still) which I loved (still love!) and everything was going fine. That's when I get this call from a guy telling me that I'm gonna earn a lot of money ( a lot more than at an english course), but I would have to travel a lot,therefore, I couldn't commit with my groups anymore, so I let go of almost all of them (the dumbest fact of all). Then the 5th comes, and it turnes out that.. There's no money in my account! I'm ms. Brightside, so I waited 'till the next day, I thought:"It must be only a small delay." No! It wasn't a small delay, because I waited for 15 days more and guess what... nothing, not a single penny! After someday he payed me only half of the salary. That's when I got pissed off, at me for taking this job and letting go of all my groups and at the damn company for not paying me. Well, then I started to think of a solution to my problem. Because the course had no groups for me anymore since we were at the end of the year. So I got a call from another course and they invited me to work there, but the only problem is that they don't have groups rightaway to offer me, for the same reason as my previous job. So I decided that until then, I'm gonna teach private classes in company or at people's homes. I've been doing some "commercial work", by calling companies and offering my teaching services and it looks like up to now they are being pretty eager to learn english, there's a company that's got 5 students.

Well, this week I was wondering what to do at the english course that I work and the coordinator was there, she asked me if I wanted to teach a group Downtown, course I did! Just the place that I have more privates! It sounded like music to my ears, I just couldn't say no. Although it's far from Home, it's ok cause I'm gonna make money and I like barra as well. As soon as I got on the subway I called mom to tell her the good news, but they didn't seem that good to her. She thought it was too far and too dangerous. Well, I have been up and down that street for 5 years when I lived there and nothing has happened. Why would it happen right now? Not only my mother thought it was dangerous, my aunt did too. I don't know why but for the first time in my life I feel that I wanna decide things myself, you know, trust my intuition. Then , I go to "the free dictionary" site and I see my horoscope:

"November 3Today you could receive word of a promotion or an exciting new challenge at work. Though this is something you have wanted for a long time now, you may hesitate to accept immediately. Could it be because your self-confidence is rather low right now, dear Sagittarius? Don't let that stop you! This feeling is only temporary, while the opportunity could develop into something quite long-term. Don't lose your chance! "

Should I still hesitate on what to do? No, my actions are never based on horoscope texts, but this one totally fitted my situation at the moment and it was just a little more encouraging. Well, I'm gonna say yes and wait for the phone to ring =)

[HOME-MADE COCKROACH MEAL]

Changing subjects...

Today I had lunch with my lovely husband: Marcsson. It was rather... shitty. What!? There was a cockroach in his meal, can you believe it? The worst thing of all is that I had always eaten there before, and everybody at my job also! To make things even worse, today I invited him to have lunch with me for the first time, cause I wanted him to get to know this "wonderful restaurant that serves home-made food" (I can't believe I said that). When he was eating my leftovers, he found a black-little...something! GROSS! The woman just looked with me with a surprised face and said:"Oh my God! This had never happened here before! You're not gonna pay anything, it's gonna be on us! I hope you don't stop comming here because of this" SURE! It's like I always wanted to eat a cockroach with my food! Stupid woman. Well, to complete all this the little-something that is a part of my husband's braces fell off his mouth! Result of all this: He got angry at me for going there and I got angry at myself for going there. According to facebook today, I had 58% luck, it seems that the other 42% got me. Anyways, what really matters is that I didn't swallow the "thingy", nor did Mark.

I hope everything goes better tomorrow, I always do.

xoxo,
Brooke
