I'm an American who has lived in the United Kingdom for more than 10 years. I have been learning French off and on for a long time--I stopped lessons a couple years ago and I'm getting rusty again. A few of the things I'm interested in: climate/environmental issues, gardening, old houses, the fiddle/violin.

    Aujourd'hui Aujourd'hui, j'ai fait une promenade avec mon chien Columbo. J'ai recontré mon Mary dans la rue. Elle marchai avec son chien Suki, alors nous continuions ensemble. Suki est très énérgique, mais Columbo est très parresseux. Quand nous sommes arrivé dans le parc, les chiens ont joué ensemble, alors que Mary et moi ont parlé de nos jardins et la santé de sa mère. Cet après-midi, Columbo est très fatigué parce qu'il a joué beaucoup avec Suki.

    Have you had a bad experience in the doctor office?

    Have you had a bad experience in at the doctor's office?

    I can't remember any bad experiences in at the doctor's office, but it that doesn't mean that I haven't had it in general :)
    I'm living in a time of changes of to the Ukraine medical system. We have a big lot of baggage of from the past experience from with the USSR medical system and we want to increase improve it to the a new level, which should fit the best medical practices and services.

    We do not have a medical insurance. You can make get personal medical insurance but it's really not popular and I didn't don't know anybody who did has it. Our medical system is very corrupted, I mean state medicine. wWe have an illusion of a free medical service for everyone, but if you really want to get good service, then you must give a bribe. It makes me sad and my choice is private medical service, . it's It's much more expensive, but you get a chance to have better service and you don't need to give any bribe, it's an official payment.

    As I said, now we'are we are (or we're) in a time of changes and the person who is trying tried to implement these changes is Uliana Suprun. She is our Minister of Health who was born in the USA and was a doctor there.  the Her mother was from Ukraine and the mother tried to give her Ukrainian traditions while she was growing up from the young years. So Uliana makes tries her best to change our medical system.  it's the hard way It's difficult because a lot of oligarchs should lose their medical businesses and every new medical reform has lots of blocks.

    But I think we will do it and get a better medical system medicine.

    The come back return of the sun

    Today, I am sick. this Last night I got up with a sore throat.
    Yesterday, it was sunny, for the first time in a long time and a long time ago that it was not sunny. Every day it was raining !
    So I weared wore less clothes because it was more warm warmer than before.
    I think it was a mistake to believe I could weared wear less clothes.
    I eat honey for healing to heal my throat, I know it will heal what I have.
    As the weather is sunny, in the street neighbours begin to get out of leave their homes. We talk about the weather. My workplace is situated of facing north, I can't see the sun of all day. However, I have a good job, and I enjoy doing it.


    (I have a sore throat too and it has been very rainy here, but it is sunny today.  I hope you feel better soon!)

    Is your personality suited to your job?

    I have been teaching Portuguese for many years, but I remember my first classes weren't good at all. I always was always very shy, that the kind of person who freaks out if she has to speak out loud. I had already faked that I couldn't do things in order to not be the centre of attention in two competitions during my middle school. Afterwards, I had just given up to be on being anything close to a outspoken person. These characteristics have persisted with me for as much long as I can remember in my live life- and even now that I had to live abroad when where I have to speak English. As a consequence, when I started to teach that time I thought that I would have had to develop myself another self, more communicative and extroverted.
    Of course, it didn't happen. It took a year to me to accustomed to the stage. At least in Brazil, unfortunately, we have big classes and we have to teach from 25 to almost 300 students at in the same class, it depends on the grade or course. So, I was adjusting my personality for something that I wasn't used to, but at the same time, it was me!
    Those students were looking for the same things I had been searching for before I became a teacher - they were scary scared because it's so hard to get into a great public university in Brazil, and many of them - like me in my time - couldn't go to college if it wasn't free. In other words, I had to become aware realize that I was there because I had lived the same situation than as them, and I was there to help them to achieve their goals. Therefore, it's so magical to be teacher and so hard because teachers in many places have the same problem than as Brazil, they usually get a low salary and bad work conditions. Even though I haven't leave left my shyness behind, I have won found (?) myself and taken my strong analytic way to see of seeing things in advanced for to help me advance in my profession, and I have made changes systematically in order to take advantages of my characteristics and personality to get understand my students.
    What does this whole story mean? I strongly believe we you can rediscover ourselves yourself if you really want to achieve a goal. Nobody needs to find a job that suits their personality suit personality for this because we are in constant change, and it makes us alive.


    (Very inspiring essay! Thank you!)

    It's hard to fall asleep.

    It's 3:26 a.m.
    I've had a problem with sleeping these days.
    I am trying to figure out why this problem happens.
    Coffee may be a reason.
    However, I will drink at least two cups of coffee again tomorrow.
    And this sleeping problem may be repeated. 


    (good luck sleeping!)

    the issue with plastic (or perhaps "the problem with plastic")

    Nowadays there are a lot of products made with plastic. Is this really sustainable? I believe it is a big problem because there is a lot of plastic which ends up in our oceans and is eaten by fish we eat. We need reduce the production of plastic and be more responsible with our planet.

    (great topic for an entry! I hope my corrections were helpful--it is my first time)
