  • How you know you are back in the USA

    Okay, so I took these while I was home, and I wanted to share here, too. I have lived abroad for awhile, so there are some things I see when I am home that you just don’t see elsewhere. This will be my gallery.

    Welcome to the newly re-designed TESOLGeek.com!

    So it looks like one of my old WordPress plugins was susceptible to hackers, the old site got hacked, so it looked like a good time to start anew!  There weren’t too terribly many posts on the old site anyways, so here’s to keeping this one fresh and updated!  I’ll be posting a lesson that […]
