it has been a LONG time since i last blogged, hasn't it?
sorry 'bout that :(
i have been busy with class, which, btw, is now over. i can start putting CTG next to my name ;) i am now a certified tour guide!!!
the work in the class piled up at the end...only because i let it get away from me. three small presentations, three papers, and a motorcoach test (20 min. tour, that is).
i'm sad to say that i wasn't one of the top 10 students. in fact, i probably was in the bottom five of a class of fifteen. you know what though? i don't care!!! i finished and that's all there is to it...DAMMIT!
unfortunately, there's one more certification that i must have before i can be totally happy...the one for CITM (Certified International Tour Manager). this is the one for big bucks and will take me to Latin America...or anywhere else in the world. the bad thing about tour guiding is that it's more feasible for local work (which is good if you have local obligations); most int'l tour guiding is done by the locals in those countries. 'course that probably makes the most sense...maybe. i've witnessed some tour guides who pass on more fiction than fact in certain archaeological sites...or the 'facts' they have are from scholarly thought of the 50's...time to update, guys!
