5 weeks left!

Hi everyone! Hope all is well. The end of this semester is in sight; I have only 5 full weeks of teaching left before I am totally done for this semester. I'm not gonna pretend that I'm not excited. The kids are antsy to be done (and the seniors are no longer in school but instead are in the middle of month-long university entrance exams...yikes.) Meanwhile, with the weather getting nice (finally) and with a quarter of my friends on Facebook freaking out about finishing school, I'm feeling antsy to be done, too. The closer I get to the end, the more anxious I am to be done....it's like the last few weeks have just been draaaaagging on and on.

I have signed my contract for next year, so I will be in Poland for another year. However, I am going to Hamburg for the summer. No more long distance relationship as of June 22!!! Yay!!

For the most part I like it here, but I do get frustrated at times. I have like 3 friends cause this town is so freakin' small, and sometimes I feel like all I do is eat, sleep, and work. So, I get homesick on occasion, and I really wish I could meet more people, but what can you do?!

On a positive note, I'm super excited about traveling this summer. One reason I came here was so I could take advantage of the location. You can travel for cheap when you don't have to buy a super crazy expensive plane ticket across the Atlantic Ocean!! So, June 23-July 11 Jeff and I are going from Hamburg to Vienna to Budapest to Sarajevo to Mostar (both in Bosnia and Herzegovina) to Kotor (Montenegro) to Dubrovnik (Croatia). Should be a fun adventure :) We've also been invited to visit one of Jeff's coworkers in Lithuania (they have a house there) so all we'd have to pay for is a Ryanair flight...super cheap! We're also going to Morocco for a few days in August. The rest of the time this summer, we'll be teaching English in Hamburg before we head to Poland in late September for the start of the next school year (beginning of October.)

Otherwise, my life is pretty boring. No big news or anything on my end. The most exciting part of my day usually consists of me correctly ordering a coffee to go in Polish :) Hah.
