LAB204 Prepared for battle/class

Am I prepared for another semester of teaching? It really is a TON of work! Hats off to all teachers out there.

Indonesian Uni students are SO sweet, friendly and innocent. That sure makes work a lot easier than rat-bag Westerners would be.

I try to rev-up the girls to ignore Muslim cutlure, and to speak up. Everyone in MY class is equal. Girls are not second-class citizens, nor are they to remain silent.

Sorry for bad scratchy recording in last half of podcast. Apple inline headphone mic. :-(

LAB203 Semester 2 begins, iPad2?

Semester 2 starts tomorrow (cause Indonesia is on the crazy Northern-hemisphere timetable), so I am off to Coffee Time to prepare for English Seaking 2 classes. blah

It really is off-putting to have the REAL year disected by a fake academic year, like in USA & EU. Semester 2 is starting, at the start of a new year. :-(

2 voicemails today :-) yippee! thank you, boys.

ps- I wanted to do an Enhanced podcast, but stupid iPhoto can’t “see” my iPhone – so I can’t save the pics. Urgh. stoopid Apple.

I decided to just cut this in half at the 21 minute mark. More digestible that way.

After a brief interuption by 2 of my favourite language teachers, who I meet on the road… I talk about… um… going to Jakarta.

LAB195 The lights are on, but…

Cultural learnings, gender opression & repression. The lights are on… but nobody is home.
I spend the first half of the podcast with some scary observations on Uni students and the education (school) system here.

In fantastic news, I have now changed rooms in my Kos (boarding house)!
Oh yeah, and have picked up a new BOYFRIEND too!!! :-)

LAB183 our holey Lady Maria – in Malang

I’m singing and dancing on a prayer this weekend, after going to 1 of the big Roman Catholic Churches near the centre of Malang city. OK, well, that’s not the reason why actually – but it is part of what I talk about today. I also air some dirty laundry ;-)

Other than Catholocism, I talk about Indonesia’s obsession with Agama (religion), and have some exciting news…

I have a JOB in Indonesia now! (Can U guess what as?)
