WOOHOOOO!!! from the other side of the planet

Its taken 3 years of training to get to this point and I've finally completed the 4 hour exam to finalise my qualification as a...wait for it...its a mouthful... "Listening and Spoken Language Speicalist - Certified Auditory-Verbal Therapist" or (LSLS Cert AVT). I told people back home that from what its taken to get this far you'd surely be able to hear my WOOHOOOOOs from the other side of the planet! I still have to wait 3 weeks for the results (it was NOT an easy exam) so if you miss this first lot of WOOHOOOOOOs keep and ear out for the ones when I hear I passed :-)

Otherwise St Louis is a bizarre city where its blatently obvious they dont get many forigners. Not sure how many times people have asked me to keep talking just cos they like my accent! I've asked a number of times what I should see while here in St Louis but after mentioning the Gateway Arch (which is always number 1) they all say "Oh there's like sooo much to see..." but struggle to name anything more! They're pretty proud of their baseball stadium and local team, the Cardinals, so I'm hoping to see a match tonight, my last night here. Tomorrow its on to Ausin, TX for some supersized McHappy Fun and live music...
