Ready, Set, Teach!

First of all, that last post was a joke largely meant for Pam and Marshall. Those of you who actually believed it must seriously doubt my intelligence, common sense and, most of all, ability to learn from my mistakes! Thanks guys.

Tomorrow is my first day as a REAL teacher! I'm looking forward to it but must admit that I'm more than a tad bit nervous. These people are paying good money to learn English from a smart, professional grammarian and, instead, they are getting me! My days will now be spent navigating Prague's public transportation system, going from one company's headquarters to another, hopefully teaching a little something along the way. I was surprised to find that many of my classes will be held at companies I've actually heard of - Oracle, Boehringer Ingelheim and Honeywell to name a few. I'll be starting bright and early tomorrow morning in the cold and snow with a 7:30am class about 45 minutes away from my flat. That means I should go to bed NOW. Good night!

You had me hook, line, and sinker with that last story....it didn't sound to far off. Of course, I knew you back when you used to go to the Big Bad Wolf on Hillsborough St. Can I be blamed?

Glad you're having a good time.

Just caught up reading about your crazy antics abroad - the visual of you in that grocery store will always bring me a good hearty giggle. It was good to chat briefly when you were home, I'm glad (but sad) you got to come back. So - can't wait to hear about the actual teaching part of your experience, can you believe you are doing this? Not missing much here.....

I'm too tired to create a google account for myself so I guess you'll see my posts as "clara" -- my 7 yr old figured out how to set up her own email.
