The last four weeks have flown by! On Friday, I finished my TEFL course and, assuming I passed, will be a certified “English as a Foreign Language” teacher by the end of next week. So now it’s Sunday morning and there is really nothing I should be doing right now…I haven’t had this feeling in months! I don’t mind it one bit.
The past couple of weeks have been filled with school, school and school, a few dinner parties and one hell of a “End of TEFLing” celebration Friday night. I can’t remember the last time I saw 4:30am…ouch. Now we have the next week off (to recover from Friday!) before we begin teaching on February 16th. Thinking about heading to Budapest and Bratislava for a few days if we can find inexpensive train tickets. If I do make it to Budapest, I’ll be sure and avoid the sketchy “bathhouse” where I was assaulted by an old Hungarian lady 10 years ago. Still having nightmares about that…
I’m going to head out in a bit and go explore my new neighborhood - Vinohrady. Moving into a new flat this week!! I’m going to have a bed that is NOT a couch, a room that is NOT connected to the kitchen, a roommate who does NOT make soup at 3am every night and eat all
of my food and a bedroom door that is NOT made out of glass…and we have a piano! Could life get any better?!? I’ll be living with 3 other girls from my TEFL course – Kristen, Anya and Joy. Four is definitely a crowd but the flat is huge (5 bedrooms!) and I think we’ll all get along well. We should have Wi-Fi there within the next two weeks so emailing, Skyping and blogging will be much more convenient. Though I will miss waking up to this beautiful and inspiring piece of art every morning…maybe the landlord won’t notice if I take it?
