My sister showed me the Katy Perry version of this song and then I found this version by Sam Sparro.  I really like this song....I am big on knowing the lyrics in songs and I really like these lyrics!  I miss my family, my boyfriend and my friends from the U.S.  I am enjoying living in Spain soooo much, but sometimes things aren't as awesome if you don't have people you love with/near you!!!

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. - Emerson

 

Today, in my English classes, I was so happy with my adult students.  During the previous week, the students were working in groups.  Their assignment was to invent a new product and create a small ad. campaign for the product.  This included a slogan, a logo, a radio jingle, and a poster.  Some of the classes presented their products today.  One group invented swimsuits for pet fish.  Their logo name was Fashionable Fish!  Some of the students did homework for the assignment.  This and the fact that they were having fun and being creative made me happy!  Some of the groups brought pictures from home to put on their poster.  Some of the groups also created a poster using their home computers.  Another group invented jewelry that is made with rocks from the moon.  They recorded space themed music to use for their radio jingle.  It was so cute to see them present their products.  The little things in life are the most important!  Their enthusiasm about this assignment warmed my heart!  Other products they invented are trousers with advance technology that make you fit while you wear them, pocket-size cars, trainers that can charge your phone/ipod, a pill that allows you to smell all the wonderful smells in life (like freshly cut grass, etc.), a translator pen, a cheat-sheet pen that projects the answers to tests onto your desk (high-school students created this...cheaters!), and battery-operated heated boots.  There are many others, but I don't remember them all.
