i signed all the contracts and legal stuff so i can teach here next year. i will be changing schools, in fact i'll be teaching in two different schools than i am right now. so i met with someone from one of the schools, we had a few nice trips to the immigration office and the school, and now - if everything goes as we hope - the paperwork should be returned with approval by the end of june.
this summer i'm staying in hungary. i'll move from my current apartment to the small house i'll live in next year in june/july. i'll keep doing some private lessons and hopefully work in a language school. i hope to travel some, too. i'm sad not to come home and see everyone, but i'm glad not to forget any hungarian on the summer break.
i feel like i learned a lot about being a high school teacher this year. i know the system better and the language and the randomness that is hungarian life better. i'm glad to be changing schools and have a fresh start. i know i'll miss my colleagues and students tremendously, but my town isn't so big that i'll never see them. in fact, i see someone i know every time i go to the city center, no matter what day or what time. whenever i feel alone here i can just walk around town and i'm bound to run into one of my 331 students or 50 colleagues. and next year i'll just about double the number of people i know. i really do like it here.

America will miss you - Hungary is so lucky. And the fresh start will be nice - knowing now what you didn't know last year when you started school. You'll be an even BETTER teacher! Glad things are working out for you - even if that means I'll just have to miss yer guts more.
It sounds like you have things all figured out, sis. And I'm sure teaching this year will be a breeze for you. Besides a new school means you can even recycle some of the same ol' tricks (and your "talents") on a fresh batch of unsuspecting teens. lol. It'll be great! I love & miss you sissy!!
BTW, adding youtube clips to your blog: sneaky. I actually watched them (almost against my will) except for Celine... whom I will watch for no one! so there.
but the bit my finger (and it really hurt) one was really funny. the other one about the drugged kid... a little scary that he was THAT affected, but still kinda funny.
You should be flattered that I suspended my youtube hatred long enough to watch... I must REALLY love you or something ;)
I'm so happy to hear that you have it all worked out for next year and this summer! I've been praying daily for you - God is great! I'll be in Morocco again after training which starts in 12 days. First, I will teach a few days of summer school here before I leave. Love you!
Yay, thanks for the updates, but I am a bit sad you'll not be coming "home" on break. Even though you'd probably not get to see me, the thought you being on the same continent is nice.
I also watched the video clips (sans Celine)--I love baby British accents!
i love you and your little dog, too.
