Yesterday I spent most of the day with Linda, a teacher at the school and my neighbor. I will actually be working with Linda quite a bit when the school year rolls around next week. She is really funny and sweet, so I feel very blessed! I also spent some time with Danny and Nikol, my other neighbors. Danny is from Montana, and I will also be working with him for much of my time here. Nikol is his wife and a kindergarten teacher at the school. They are a lot of fun, and they have been really inviting. Emmy - Nikol is also four months pregnant. And in the Czech Republic, they get 2-4 years of PAID maternity leave. Insanity! Welcome to socialism, I guess.
Today was a teacher meeting/work day at the school. I sat in on the meeting with the English teachers (there are five), and among other things, we discussed my role in the coming weeks. The plan is for me to observe for two weeks, teach full-time for two weeks, and teach part-time for my final two weeks. I will be rotating between Linda and Danny's rooms. I'm still not sure what to expect, but I'm excited!
Tomorrow I am going to Vienna. I was hoping to go to Budapest, but the bus was full. Hopefully another time! It's wonderful how cheap travel via bus is here, especially for students. I hope to take advantage of this many times throughout the next couple months!
I finally posted pictures on Facebook, so you can check that out if you wish. It was fun for me to look back at the events and wonderful memories of the past couple weeks. Thanks for reading, and hope you all are doing well!
