It's just not another site for me

Well, to be honest, this is just not another site for me. I really enjoy blogging as it is an activity which I really enjoy and get the most satisfaction out of. Plus, sometimes I get feedback from the reader and that really makes my day. I guess everyone likes to air their own viewpoint and I am no different. This site provides a convenient platform for users to get together and communicate effortlessly with each other. Sure, each site has it's own plus and minus points but I found this site to be the most enjoyable and fun. It is easy to set up and maintain. Once it is set up, there is no need to do anything else, except for the blogging part. try to keep the readers entertained and they will come back for more.

It is the holiday season once more and I am all out of ideas. I really do not want to go through the process that I repeat every year by sending out either holiday cards or some boring stupid gift item which the receiving party usually returns to the store right away. I was all out of ideas and really depressed at the thought of another dull and listless holiday season. I was not really looking forward to it.

Are they being rude?

Try to imagine the following situation: You are with a group of people who speak different languages. They all do speak English to different degrees, but you do not speak or comprehend their languages. If two of them get involved in a conversation amongst themselves then you will be left out in the cold and you would not be able to understand anything at all. Is it rude or impolite for them to converse so in their own language meaning or is it perfectly understandable for them to want to talk quickly and easily in their own first language?

After thinking about it, I guess it would really depend on the situation, since no two situations are really alike all the time. Under some situations I think I would find it slightly rude.
For example, if a group of people want to talk in their first language which is much easier for them to speak and understand, but if they are in the company of someone who does not speak their language... not to mention in a country that does not speak their language, yet they continue talking in their own language and totally ignore you completely. If this happens, then I think they are being rude. I think they should either speak English or go off away from the group to speak by themselves.

Also, I think it's a little rude and it's definitely exclusionary, especially in a social or work situation. They would be telling me that they obviously don't want me talking or associating with them by not speaking a language I can understand. Sometimes, I am surrounded by people speaking a lot of different languages, I have grown used to it now. If they're just some strangers talking, I don't care, but if it's at work or a social function, then I would consider it very rude

Put yourself in another country where you don't speak the language as well as you'd like, and you were with mostly people that spoke your language, and not the language of that country. Wouldn’t they feel the same? I think there are many places all over the world, where people will speak the local language above all others and refuse to speak English (or another language) when they could have easily spoken it.

To sum up, If you are all together as a group and it seems like you are deliberately being left out then yes, I think it would definitely be rude. It is rude to have an extended conversation in a different language while you are standing there completely confused. But again, it would depend on the situation. It would, however, be a good time to ask them to teach you a few words and phrases. You would learn something new and they would be more conscious of their breach of etiquette

Brightstorm experiance

When I was growing up, learning was never a fun thing for me. In some subjects I did good and in others I was just ok. Some subjects depended entirely on the teacher who is teaching and not every teacher does a good job. Therefore, I did good in some subjects and just about ok in others. I really did not have much help back then and I had to really fend for myself in many cases.
Well, now you have grown up and the studies are behind you. But, your children in high school now. You probably do not want them to go through the same troubles and hassles which you had gone through. Well, I just discovered a great site called Brightstorm which offers an excellent online educational network that aims to help high school children to perform better in school and also to prepare them for college studies. They offer video-based courses which are taught by expert teachers from around the country in such a way which is easily understood by the students.

The best part is that the students can choose their own teachers and the teaching style for each subject to suit their own learning style. They can also take the courses at their own pace since each person has a different learning curve and pick up speed. You can Sign up for a free brightstorm acocunt and check up their variety of course which they offer. Each course runs around $50 for a 12 month subscription. You can watch the episodes online anytime you want and learn at your own pace. The “teachers” have really great personalities and can hold your attention during the lesson.

It's been a long day

It really has been a long day for me. The unending amount of work today really wore me out. No matter how hard I tried to wrap up my work as quickly as possible, I was not really successful. The most irritating part of the day was that, just when it seems I was finally finishing up the work for the day...something new popped up. I was at wits end. Finally, around 3:00 PM or around that time, I took a late lunch and called it a day. Most of my work was done except for some misc. stuff which can easily be wrapped up in a jiffy the next day. Even though it was a long tiring day, but a good day. I did learn something new. I guess it was....If you have enough patience and dedication, you can plough through the never ending work and learn new things in the process. Each day brings something new and these things never cease to amaze me. We should try to start each day on a positive note since a certain amount of negativity at times tend to creep into our life as the day progresses on and on. Well, tomorrow is another day, and I guess I am ready to face it once more.
