I am Johanna.So，with many of my friends going back to school for the last few semesters of their bachelors or their masters，I find myself missing school.I’ve been out of university since May 2010 and it’s been quite an adjustment.

The thing I miss most，however，is always learning new things or maybe being motivated to study new topics.Now，when I get home from work，I don’t always have the energy or the time to read some classic literature or study Spanish.I just want to escape，or clean，or walk the dog!

So while my life starts to settle，around me，it seems my student friends are always moving and learning.But I don’t like this feeling，so I have to decide to be more motivated to broaden my horizons and I mostly turn to the Internet to fulfill this need.

I recently discovered，online，The University of the Streets Café，which sounds like one option for continuing my education，free of charge.I also like its style of guided conversation in an informal setting，compared with a lecture hall with a professor who can’t even tell what he or she looks.

I have also taken advantage of all the amazing lectures and talks on TED：Ideas Worth Spreading and I’d like to share a few with you.

My all-time favourite is a brief，funny speech by Ken Robinson on creativity and education.He also wrote a new book that is great for motivation to do what you’re meant to do!

School definitely provides more structure to learning.However，all these online talks and websites are great.This way of learning is a bit all over the place，kind of like this blog post.

People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well.They take their dogs for walks，let them play outside and give them good food and medical care.However，dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life.The expression，to lead a dog’s life，describes a person who has an unhappy existence.

Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world.That means many people are competing for the same things，like good jobs.They say that to be successful，a person has to work like a dog.This means they have to work very，very hard.Such hard work can make people dog-tired.And，the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.

Still，people say every dog has its day.This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life.To be successful，people often have to learn new skills.Yet，some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks.They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.

Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways.People who are unkind or uncaring can be described meaner than a junkyard dog.Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want.Mean dogs are often used to guard this property.They bark or attack people who try to enter the property.However，sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad.We say his bark is worse than his bite.
