A blog for sharing my life with you. Friday, October 08, 2004. This Week In Review. Is it Friday already? Where did the week go? Monday nights are tennis nights and so after some dinner (homemade curry by Daniel yum! We went back to the gym to meet Catherine and the gang. Tennis is so much fun; it’s totally Catherine’s and my designated gossip/catch up time! Anyway, our coach, also the town dentist, Asagami, really liked Daniel. He kept saying, Ohh! He’s better than you, Sierra! Keep the chocolate coming!

Dartboard: Friendship and Authority
http://yennekarreis.blogspot.com/2007/10/friendship-and-authority.html
A blog for sharing my life with you. Sunday, October 07, 2007. I did email my supervisor the same day and asked about Talgat's situation. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, my boss confirmed that the school policy did not allow for Talgat to take fewer hours of self-study. It's unfortunate that we couldn't give him what he was asking for, but thank goodness I hadn't assured him "everything would be alright.". This experience has helped me make connections with other students,...

A blog for sharing my life with you. Friday, October 26, 2007. Am I Becoming a Workaholic? My job has changed so much in the last couple of months. My boss has had so much faith in me, and has supported everything I do. I feel really lucky to have connected with this company and time has just flown by! Even my relationship with my co-workers has been been a wonderful experience. Recently I've been getting more responsibility on SEVIS, the Student Exchange and Visitor Information System, which is how we i...

A blog for sharing my life with you. Saturday, October 02, 2004. The student tents on the other side of the track. Daniel and I participating in the mucade race with some parents. My camera ran out of batteries so those are all the pictures I got. I might get some from other people later and will post them then.). This is a video from my practice on Thursday, actually. My kyoto-sensei took it for me. You can see I make lots of mistakes, but I've sharpened up since then. An iCard from my sister, Joelle.

Dartboard: Science is the new threat to culture.
http://yennekarreis.blogspot.com/2007/12/deaf-culture.html
A blog for sharing my life with you. Wednesday, December 05, 2007. Science is the new threat to culture. Why must a child be a part of only a deaf community or a hearing community? Is it impossible to join both these cultures? Posted by Sierra @ 8:12 PM. I have no more sympathy for deaf people who don't want their child to hear than I do for fundamentalist christians not wanting their child to receive medical care. Like it or not, change is coming. These people will be miserable and that's fine w...As so...

Dartboard: "How am I," you ask?
http://yennekarreis.blogspot.com/2007/11/how-am-i-you-ask.html
A blog for sharing my life with you. Saturday, November 03, 2007. How am I," you ask? I am doing fine, thank you for asking. I have been very overwhelmed this week, though I'm starting to feel better now that it's the weekend. I never like to admit it, but I think I'm stressed out! I decided this week that I had to make some choices and priorities and I'm afraid on Wednesday I decided I had better finish my work instead of going to class. I have good news and bad news. Maybe you have suggestions? Dooce: ...

http://yennekarreis.blogspot.com/2007/12/while-looking-around-forums-online.html
A blog for sharing my life with you. Saturday, December 08, 2007. While looking around forums online. I found the question: "Do you think illegal immigrants should be forced to return home? There were an array of answers to the question, but so many people said yes because illegal immigrants must have come here with bad intentions of stealing Americans' jobs. They abuse social security and don't pay taxes. I had an opinion. Posted by Sierra @ 11:59 AM. I'm also not convinced by your argument that they pl...

Dartboard: Filling Up Silence
http://yennekarreis.blogspot.com/2007/10/filling-up-silence.html
A blog for sharing my life with you. Tuesday, October 09, 2007. Before living in Japan I never had a boyfriend say I spoke too little- -quite the contrary! I used to speak too much, without thinking first, regretting afterward all the nonsense I spoke! Can't they shut up for a minute and enjoy the silence, too? Posted by Sierra @ 11:15 PM. Comments: Post a Comment. View my complete profile. Few and Far Between. Dawn: a brave soul on ojika. Vicky: a blonde babe. Carrie: i think i'm turning japanese.

Dartboard: An Email for Therapy
http://yennekarreis.blogspot.com/2007/10/email-for-therapy.html
A blog for sharing my life with you. Friday, October 12, 2007. An Email for Therapy. Do you know the expression "the left-hand doesn't know what the right-hand is doing? I feel this expression accurately depicts our weekly class schedule. Why are there three or four copies of the schedule every week? How can the schedule change in the middle of the day? And twice a day? How are we communicating these changes to our teachers, staff and students? The problems with the schedule this week:. Pulling teachers ...
