I was searching the Internet recently to find a few famous quotes I planned to use in a school assignment. I noticed after a short while that some of the quotes were actually funny. This wasn’t such a great discovery except for the fact that they were from some people one wouldn’t ordinarily consider as being funny. As an example, Richard Nixon once said: “I’ve never canceled a subscription to a newspaper because of bad cartoons or editorials. If that were the case, I wouldn’t have any newspapers or magazines to read.” Who would have thought that this stern president had a lighter side to him? Or how about this funny quote from Winston Churchill, supposedly he told to a woman in a bar who accused him of being drunk? : “I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.” This is one of my all time favorite quotes. As you can see, funny quotes can come from the most unexpected places.

A Foreign Exchange Student Learning Spanish Lessons London Style
Monday, February 28th, 2011My child received the wonderful opportunity to go to England as a foreign exchange student and one of her worries was learning to speak proper English. When she actually was enrolled in school she found out that she was going to have to take Spanish lessons London style. She had not even considered Spanish because she had been focusing on learning the proper English that she was going to have to speak regularly. But if she wanted to be able to graduate with her own high school class, she was going to have to maintain her home school’s requirements and having three years of a foreign language is one of them.
That is how she found herself taking Spanish lessons London style. She told me that this was one of her biggest challenges because of the London accent. Her first two years of Spanish did not have the accent and now her third year does. You would not think it would be a big deal but when you are attempting to acclimate yourself to many changes as a student, it is significant.
