Nothing special really...

Well, I can't believe how slowly all the days are going. I've only got 4 and a half weeks left here and I know they are going to drag. It feels like the end of the first term when I couldn't wait for Ruth to leave. It's really strange because only a couple of months ago, I was happy to be staying for another year and now I can't wait to leave. I can't wait to go home and see people I haven't seen for ages. I can't wait to got to Kent and meet new people.I can't wait to go to Munich for my interview. I can't wait to go to Munich full stop.

If I'm really honest, it's starting to have nothing to do with Paul. Maybe if it weren't for Paul, I wouldn't have considered Munich and wouldn't have even had the chance to go there, but now, I'm really looking forward to it. It's so much bigger, the money's going to be better, my flat will be nicer, there'll be more choice of what to eat and where, and more opportunities to travel - not necessarily because of location, but more to do with the money. I know, I shouldn't be materialistic, but after living here and just getting by most of the time, the idea of having some extra cash is very, very appealing. Plus, I'll get to finally use the German I spent 8 years learning.

Anyway, I can't wait to leave here. I'll miss it and the people I've met here, but, it really is the time to leave. I feel it in my gut.

NEWS

Hello! I am so, so, so, sorry that I have been really rubbish at updating my blog. I have been so busy at work, but also, not very much has been happening - except until recently of course.

So, I went to Regensburg and had a really lovely time. Also, managed to fit in a day in Munich, which reminds me a lot of Vienna. I loved it. I've started kinda seeing a guy called Paul, who I went to visit in Regensburg. He's very bad at keeping in touch though, so I'm not sure how that's going to work out. But he's coming to visit me in June, so we'll see. Of course, that isn't 100% certain, but it seems very likely.

Other news: Although I've really enjoyed teaching and living here in Bratislava, I've decided that it's time to move on so I'm looking for jobs in Munich. Already had one phone interview, though they'd still like to meet me in person, but they seem pretty keen on employing me. Have another interview in Munich on 11 July and that will be face-to-face. I've been doing really well here though so that's been an encouraging start to my teaching career. My students have given me very good feedback, so it's very satisfying. This interview in Munich is for a job I really want, so keep your fingers crossed for me that I'll get it. They help with settling in and they also are going to give me a full-time contract - if I get the job, of course.

Anyway, thats all really. Have 5 more weeks here and I hope they don't drag. I will try to be better at blogging, I promise!

I"M SORRY!!

Hi! I'm sorry that I've been absolutely terrible at blogging! I can't believe it's actually been three months! Well, I've been really busy but all is fine. My students love me this term and I'm doing really well and I've totally improved as a teacher. I'm happy here. Can't write more. Just wanted to let you know that I've uploaded more pictures onto flickr and they're in clearly marked sets. Enjoy!

Going to Regensburg and Munich from 8-11 May. Exciting! Potentially more exciting news on that front to come. Will let you know!
