It’s Man Day again. Or as it’s more formally called, Protectors of the Fatherland Day. For those of you unaware, it’s a day to celebrate men in Ukraine. Don’t worry, there’s an International Women’s Day on March 8th. That’s international, so it’s more important. Anyway, today I received a card and a box of candies from […]
School ended last Friday. Here’s some updates on my life. Next week I will be visiting a friend for the week and helping her with her summer camp at her school. I’ve been telling students and teachers about this for a while. Today I received a text message from a teacher at school telling me […]

It is official. I no longer need to go to coffee shops to check the internet. Nor do I want to go to work because I can check my email from home. I hate spam comments. A lot. Never leave comments unchecked for two weeks. It took me about twenty minutes to delete them all. […]
My mother always told me not to write anything online when I am angry. I responded, ‘But mother, then what is the internet for?’ Needless to say, I might not be in a good mood. We’ll start with one that everyone can relate to and then those who can’t or do not want to relate […]
