again...a week is too long to go without posting...i wish i was better at this.
i'm sitting in my classroom as we speak, proctoring standardized tests and dreaming about graduation. my time has gone sooooooo fast here, and as of sunday, i am able to say that i graduate from college NEXT WEEK! can you imagine!
my juniors and seniors have been away on their class trip since last thursday, they return this thursday. i've been keeping myself busy at school in their absence: creating bulletin boards, decorating doors, proctoring exams...and visiting BUDAPEST!
i flew out from kiev on thursday night and arrived in budapest, hungary an hour later. the nature of my trip? i was able to observe at another school (like mine) called International Christian School of Budapest. Fondly known as ICSB. my friend natalie from PBU is student teaching there just like I am.
i observed at the school on friday, met a few members of the SEND Budapest team, and experienced school like in yet another country.
the rest of the weekend was spent running around the city, drinking coffee, hiking hills, looking for authentic hungarian food, and locating 5 of the "Thousand Places to See Before You Die."
it was SUCH a blessing to see some fresh country-side, a new city, and an old friend!
i'll post a few pictures soon;)
...Budapest. As mentioned before, my weekend in Budapest was amazing. ICSB was incredible, seeing a familiar face from American was wonderful, and the views were stunning. Particularly the bridges. I reaaaaaaly liked the bridge. And the coffee. My friend Natalie is in the picture to the right...International Christian School of Budapest is behind us. I look like a babushka, yes, because it was raining...and naturally, I wanted to preserve my hair. Hey, teachers can't be lookin' all crazy up there in front of teenagers!
