Hey everyone! I'm into week 3 (of 11) of my Pre-Service Training (PST), and boy it sure is a lot of work. My day consists of waking up around 4:00am thanks to the rooster that lives outside my window, and then waiting about 20 minutes for he and his flock of hens to migrate to the yard to feed, and then falling asleep till about 7:00 or so.

After that I get up and head off to school where I teach classes in the morning, and then I go to Language class as well. then I take my 40 minute walk back to the house where I do about 3 hours of homework and lesson planning, an hour of drinking wine, and then it's bed time. I'm looking forward to the time after PST when I'll have more time to myself.

This weekend I'm going to Ozargetti, which is about 45 miles away from the black sea, for the purpose of Job Shadowing an existing volunteer. It's going to be about an 8 hour trip, so I'm not looking forward to that too much, but it'll be nice to get to see a new area of the country. Next week I have my sight placement interview, so I'm looking forward to finding out where I will be spending the next 2 years of my life. Given the kindness of the people here I'm not too worried about any particular location, but It'll be daunting not having my cluster mates around me where I can see them every day.

Internet usage is very limited for me at the time being, I'm signing on about once every 10 days (kind of like how often I shower now), but I will try to keep the blog updated as much as possible. Hope all is well in the US!

Nice facilities. Don't fall in.
ReplyDeleteWell, the bathroom has partition walls AND foot stones too. Better than Turkish bathrooms of my youth! Love the blog - keep it coming as you can.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that all is well. Every day will be new learning experiences and I'm sure you will soak it all in.
ReplyDeleteGood morning how are you?
ReplyDeleteMy name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because trough them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately it’s impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this I would ask you one small favor:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Georgia? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Georgia in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Calle Valencia,39
28903 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
