Bed and Bored

Today I have mostly been relaxing on the couch and recovering from last night. For those of you who are new to my life, get used to this - it happens a lot.
I decided, as all who are lazy do, to write a 'to-do' list. It beats getting up and actually doing the things that you need to do. Here it is;
Organise CD/DVD collection
Fix Laptop
Do Laundry
Go to gym
Learn Portuguese
I failed to accomplish any of the above goals and, as such, have decided to ban myself from ever writing a 'to-do' list again. They are counter productive and serve only to highlight ones own inadequacies. A much better idea is a 'have-done' list, where the writer ticks off anything that they have completed during the day. e.g.
Woke up
Ate something
Didn't go back to bed...
etc.
Try it and bask in the warm glow of a page full of things that you have managed to do. It will make you feel much better then staring at a daunting list of jobs that have yet to be done. Plus, it is a good way to waste some time instead of doing any real work, as is writing a rather pointless blog...

Hello. It's not an original opening, but who am I to fly in the face of convention. Welcome to my blog.
Background;
I am a teacher of English as a foreign language. I have been doing this for about a year and a half. I spent most of this time teaching in Japan, hence random bits of basic Japanese thrown in willy-nilly (or wirry-nirry, if you prefer). The place had a massive effect on me and I hope to return someday.
Since then, I have been to Prague and, most recently, Brighton to teach at a summer camp for rich foreign brats.
In September I head for Lisbon, where I hope to continue in this strange and oft ridiculed career that I have chosen.
I am hoping to use this blog, as many do, to allow friends and family to keep up with me as I travel. It beats sending loads of emails.
