I <♥> polish.

Not quite sure what it's been lately, but I have this insatiable appetite for polishing my shoes. It's kind of crazy in fact. I don't own a hell of a lot of pairs of nice shoes, but they are all pretty decent and all nice leather. I procrastinated forever on polishing them, but now I just can't stop.

It is such a relaxing activity, and when I'm done my shoes look fantastic. Not exactly a groundbreaking past-time, but there is something simple and good about it. A bit of a throw back, versus disposability 101 lifestyle. Makes you want to buy very good quality and have it for awhile.

Not to knock China, since really they are just better at filling our lust for cheap goods, but seems like it's all about cheap "now" goods. Most things are so poorly made you barely have them for a season before they are pilling, fading or just combusting. Kind of refreshing to actually have something that you can care for and enjoy for a few years. My shoes from France were a pleasure to polish as they brought back all sorts of fond memories of walking around the great capitals of Europe.

Bringing my shoes back to life, also brings memories of people, places and times back to my mind. Unlike the shittily made goods we buy, those memories will last forever wit a bit of TLC.

Et les jours passe.

Depuis le commencement du mon travail, je me sens très à laisse. Je travais dur, et des fois je me sens un peu confondu. Mais, en general, j'aime bien mon travail, je le trouve stimulant et il y a plusieurs options pour development. Je suis très content avec la vie d'enseignement.

One of the few things that I do find challenging about my job is the quickness with witch time flies by. The weekly barely has a chance to start before it finishes. It's literally like a dog bent over it's bowl about to eat and then the bown gets gruffly snatched away. C'est fou! Nonetheless, it provides ample opportunity for nourishing other interests.

Ces jours la, je recherche des cours du francais, et des maitrises. Je pense à faire un maitrise en francais. Ca serait un défi bien sur, mais pas un défi insurmontable. J'aurais du travail à faire, et j'aurais améliorer mon niveau d'écriture beaucoup. Ca m'aiderait beaucoup en mon travail, mais en plus c'est mon but d'etre capable à parler et d'ecrire le francais presque parfaitement.

For the moment I will continue to do research for courses and continue to pursue my options. So far so good. On verra.
