I'm sure Aaron won't be teaching the japanese kiddies to chew their fingernails or to tap on the table with their pens. I mean what other bad habbits does Aaron have? I'm sure there's no such thing as whack-backy over there

besides, who said he was teaching kids?

Dude, hella respect on going for the PhD! [img]smile.gif[/img] For me a PhD just sounds too gargantuan an academic undertaking to actually get started right now. Glad to hear you're living the good life though man!

Man, a hike in the Pyrenees! Sweet! Did you put pics up on Stealthy's?

I'm currently enjoying a month's piss-around time of my own. Staying with my folks in Christchurch (a 6 hour drive up the coast of the South Island) for a month before heading back to Uni in January to complete an English BA. I have four projects for the next month: 1)grow a beard. 2)get a tan. 3)finish all the novels I got half-way through then ran out of time to complete due to uni work. 4)get rid of this goddam beer-gut that has been creeping in over the past month or so!

Hahaha! Cheers man! From what I hear from others who have done the JET program (Japanese English Teaching) it's more the Japanese who have a 'bad' influence on their English teachers, heh heh Anyways, I won't be heading away until the year after next, still a year of English study to go.....

heh, thanks - the way I figured is this:

If I went and got a job, I'd probably be bored and stuck in the job. If I do a PhD, I'll probably also dislike having to work, but at least I'm still a student, living on campus and I'm getting another qualification (if it pans out - there's a major viva after one year! erk!) and hopefully more doors will open to more interesting stuff. Plus the funding I get is tax free, so if I got a job, after tax off I'd probably only be getting around 30-40% more than I get now. Long live the student days!

I think you've already seen some photos, remember they are on page 52 at stealthy's

http://groups.msn.com/StealthysSite/...x.msnw?Page=52

the last 3 on the page (except for vesselle's one)

of course I've got about another 200 photos, but can't post them all

Whoa, you're going to teach English in Japan? It's too early to tell for sure, but that's one of my possible future carrers. There are some other possibilities I've been considering, but all of them involve Japan.


By the way, is there any specific reason why you're going to teach in Japan instead of some other place?


Good luck on your studies. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Congrats, Hiero! I've always wondered what the "(hons)" meant after someone's name... and now I know [img]smile.gif[/img]
