One month hiatus...to learn English (it's about time)

Well, I have been on a wee bit of a hiatus from the bloggin' desk. The past month I have been in class learning all the nuts and bolts of English (please stop editing my writing--let's consider this blog a bit of a grammar-free zone). The TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) program came complete with an wonderful line-up of fellow students and a superb instructor brimming with linguistic genius. In our last week of class we welcomed some new friends (real live language learners!...finally) who made the whole learning experience more real and special. Thanks to each of you (them).
