I'm doing amazing, School starts in august, i've been working at this place called Kemah Boardwalk... Best job ever i get to play with stingrays all day, but i technically am supposed to be working in the giftshop of aquarium and pretty much i'm retail... I've met a lot of cool people working there. I've learned i'm horrible with accents... an australian man ask me for post cards and i thought he said porter or something... he then said cheers and i thought he said cheese. I'm flying for the first time ever next week to Arizona!!! pretty excited about that. going to pick up my sister who just had surgery for an implant... and hmmm How have you been? oh and i've lost like 30 pounds... lol just thought i'd throw that in....

Keep practicing.

Doing English accents is fairly easy, why not start there then work your way up to Ethiopian accents. Theyre funny !

Do you do impressions too ?

Nobody understood my accent when I was in America. It was okay at first but conversation wise I was looked at pretty bleakly. It happens. But it can get confusing because I had one guy think I was german and began talking to me in german which confused things even worse.:wah::wah::wah::wah:

Australians tend to run their words into one another, and lose a couple of bits of alphabet along the way. Unless of course we talk proper like. I had to unnounciate my words a lot

Glad to see you're doing well skittles. 30 ? wow good for you !!!
