Last night was Super Bowl 46. In America, pretty much every person watches the Super Bowl. What is the Super Bowl, you ask. Well...

Wikipedia always has a pretty good answer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl
Or here's the real website: http://www.nfl.com/superbowl/46

Here's some news about it:

Happy Super Bowl learning! 

You don't have to care about Guildford Dudley. I do though. Since I was in high school, I have loved studying British history. When I was a high school senior I had dreams of moving to England and forgetting America. I was obsessed with everything British. Now I'm very proud of being American and for some reason, I keep coming back to Ukraine. Some of my friends call Ukraine my second country. The other day, my brother wrote that I was "quasi-Ukrainian." It's all good though. 

Now about Guildford Dudley. He was a British bloke that... you might as well read the Wikipedia article if you really want to know. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Guildford_Dudley) 

As for why I'm thinking about Guildford Dudley today of all days... that's because I'm watching Lady Jane, a movie about Lady Jane Grey and Mr. Dudley. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091374/) It's pretty awesome. I'm a fan at least. 

Have a good one!

Hey folks! I hope you are all doing well. It's a little cold outside these days. UGH! Ok... to be honest, the other day I got really excited about the snow. I like that it's so crunchy so that I can hear it crunch under my boots when I walk. This is the good stuff. I'll be grumpy when it starts to melt and Ternopil will look like a muddy slushy. (Check out slush or slushy here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slush_(beverage).) 

My mom has been checking on the weather over here and she says you should all bundle up! (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/bundle+up) 

See you soon! 

I posted the list of oral presentations and who is presenting under the syllabus for each group. Please refer to this document if you forget what you signed up for. 

Today in 42.3 some of the girls and guys talked about what happened during their teaching practice. I asked if any of them ever had crushes on their old teachers. They shook their heads no. I doubt it. I like the third definition of a crush. This is from the Urban Dictionary online. A crush isn't a bad thing. A crush gets you through ridiculous winters... :) 
See ya later!

Real English lessons start today. I will be in the English office before the fourth lesson if you need to talk to me or ask any questions. See you soon!

Woohoo! I posted ALL SIX of the syllabi for this semester. Go to the semester two tab and print out your group's syllabus. Your assignments, etc. are all a part of your syllabus. 

See you soon!

You are all going to give an oral presentation at one point during this semester. You will sign up for a date and topic during your first lesson this week. I'm posting the details and topics now so you can see what is expected and hopefully you will have an idea of what you might want to present by sign-up time. 

Have a great rest of your Sunday.

Hey guys! When I've told some people that I'm not teaching their specific group for semester two, many people are surprised and have been asking why. Like I wrote before, there are many factors I took into account when I requested the specific groups. I was also asked to cover certain classes by the head of our department. As for the factors, here are the stats from semester one by group. 

President Obama gave his State of the Union address last night. Here is the transcript:
