Eating clementines, gingersnaps, and drinking peppermint tea are my methods for willing the snow. So far, no such luck. However, the days have been cooler - around5 degrees - and almost freezing at night. And it's been sunny and dry!! So just give me some of that white fluffy stuff and I'll be set.
The town centre is a winter wonderland (sans snow). There are lights everywhere, lining the cobble-stoned streets. There is a huge tree in the core, right by the school. There are wooden cabins/shacks being set up, selling festive wares. I LOVE IT!!! It looks like Waterloo Park, walking through town.
So with all this talk about the holidays, I should probably mention that WE HAVE SOME HOSTELS BOOKED!!! I'll be in Vienna over Christmas and Budapest for New Years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (With Heather and her sister, Cathy.)
And speaking of booking trips - HEATHER AND I BOOKED FLIGHTS TO SPAIN IN FEBRUARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a tad excited, to say the least.
Heading to Warsaw this weekend. Gosia, the Polish teacher we hung out with on the weekend/had Chinese food with, got us hooked up at her brother's hostel for less than half the price. Woo! First overnight trip to Warsaw! We'll meet up with Mariusz again. It was Heather's birthday on Wednesday so it's time to celebrate! On Wednesday we met at the gym (as usual), but I got there early to set up the changeroom, as I had made a big poster with pictures and quotes for the occasion. She burst out laughing when she saw it, hanging up. Best reaction I could have asked for!
Hmm...it's been a crazy week. Planning revision lessons and exams for my students. AND there are now four Native speakers working for the school, instead of the original five. One of the gals had a change of heart and decided to take off. It had us all very worried. She's fine. Radom just isn't her scene. That's all I'll say on that. Rumour is that one of the teacher's from last year will come back to fill in the classes.
Okey dokey. Time for my (favourite) Friday classes! TGIF!
Oh. I should get some more pictures up on here!
