"Long time no see". Well, Italkians - of new and old. How are you? For those of you who don't know me, I used to be a tutor on this site a long time ago, and I helped a lot of people (no, I won't check your exam papers for you). A lot has changed, so much so that I don't know where to begin with this update. I don't really teach English any more, my website/business didn't "take off", and I think the problem was the advertising; it's really hard to find the people who are looking for you (much like the rest of life). I had to move back home, to become a full time carer for my mother, who has ongoing mobility problems. This led me to build a "super computer" to play GTA V on, and I adopted a rescue kitten (called Amber). This life can be very lonely, as it's hard to meet people and it's impossible to even go out for a night. But you have to see the positives in all situations, I have a much nicer life than some people. I also started going to a boxing gym, just to get fit and have an outlet for stress. I'm currently renovating/decorating this house, as it's been neglected for a very long time. Every job I try to do, reveals three more serious ones that I didn't know about. But I enjoy the work and each success motivates me to carry on, treating it as though it were a puzzle which can easily be solved in time, with effort: patience. That's about it for now. I feel like I've aged over night, and time is speeding up more than ever. Wherever you are in the world, I hope your life is good, and I hope you're either living your dreams or you are travelling along the path which will take you to them. If you're nowhere near your dreams, I hope you're coping with what you dislike; that's a big part of life. Take care, Craig
