Job interview = fail.

Well, the name of this post tells everything, but I need to write about this fail experience. This week, my last week on vacation, I received a call to a job interview. I decided to go, because that was my opportunity to being an English teacher.

At the time scheduled, I was there. It was a cold Monday afternoon, but I try to seem happy (although the flu was killing me). I just met Taís (school coordinator). She was the person who would talk to me. Well, we entered in a small room and I’ve seen a book that made me happy: Summit! Well, I told her “I know this book, I worked with the top notch… they are from the same collection”. Them we started talking. Taís is a nice girl, with a beautiful smile and a lot of enthusiasm! I liked her – and she liked me. We talked about my life and about the school – a nice place! So, she told me she liked me and ask me if I would like to work there. That was my opportunity, the salary was low, but that was my opportunity and I said yes. So, she said I would to do an English test… and that’s was the fail part of my job interview.


I wanted them to print it, and started to fill out. Gee, it was “only” 4 pages… I haven’t had studied and I was feeling pain all over my body because of my flu… So I started reading… Exercise 1: phrasal verbs. The only thing I remembered was “broke down” (because Brian said it in a Backstreet Boys video). Exercise 2: filling the blanks – that was so so. Exercise 3: write a composition. Exercise 4: the same. I was so tired, that I wrote the first thing that crossed my mind.


As a result: my speaking was great (as Taís told me), but my test was terrible!
I thing I don’t need tell you what happened before, right?!... it’s better I keep myself on the old job and start studying English again…

Breathe

While the band in my head plays a striptease... Breathe live at the Rose Bowl. Finally I've bought U2 360º at the Rose Bowl! FINALLY! And watching this again, I still can’t believe I was in a concert of this tour. So fucking amazing!!!  Today, I cried again. This time it was One fault (we are carrying each other and I feel so stupid about it…) As they used to sing " Every beauty needs to go out with an idiot "… I wish I met all I have to meet in this life…  Well, about the concert, U2 has the power over me and I’m speechless again. There are no words to express my feelings about the happiness and the peace I feel listening to these guys... I've found grace inside a sound  I found grace, it's all that I found  And I can breathe  Breathe now

New soundtrack

This weekend was for thinking about stopping thinking. I hope I can do it on day… my brain needs vacation sometimes! Hehehe About my weekend, I’ve just spent 48 hours sleeping and eating… and now, I’ve got a terrible headache (can you explain it? I slept most part of time and now I’ve got a headache… just me!) …  Although nothing new happened here, I want to share my new soundtrack. Surfing here, on internet, I ‘met’ Josiah Leming and his album: Come on kid that was released last September. This talented singer was on 7th season of American Idol. Now with Come on kid , we can listen to a powerful voice, with great lyrics. And what can I say?! Josiah Leming does just an amazing sound! (and I confess, I fall in love with these piano sounds!) Well, that’s a simple way to describe him. If you want to check with your own eyes, click here and take a look at his myspace page.
