Exams

Well, I always enjoy giving exams! I don't know why, I almost have to laugh creepily when I give out the exams. This class is my biggest pains in de butts, but, they seemed to take it ok.

I really enjoyed my two earlier classes though and I kept thinking about how I would do things different next year.

So, that being said, today I'm thinking I'd like to stay.

Staying... I think

So far everything's ok... I just want that snow to go away :P But other than that, I think I'd like to stay another year.

Smrt and I went out to dinner and had a nice time, then we went to Kava Kava Kava and got some yummy hot chocolate! :) YAY!

Decisions - H

Well, sometime in February we will have to decide if we will come back for another year, or if we will call this portion of our lives over. Last year it was an easy decision, but this year, it seems it's all I can think about and I just seem to flip flop back and forth every day. It's terribly irritating. So, I think I've decided from here until I have to make my decision I'm going to at least write a 1 letter post every day letting myself know if i wanted to go home or stay. And then, when I have to make my decision, if I still can't decide, I can just check my posts and see how often I wanted to go home or stay and let that make my decision for me.

Today, however, I feel like going home. If for no other reason than I just don't feel like being here. I feel like my life is on hold and I really should get back to the US and start doing something with my life.

3rd Annual Turkey Day

MMM! I love Thanksgiving! One thing hard about being overseas last year was not having family around during the holidays, especially Thanksgiving. We had our Thanksgiving retreat the weekend of Thanksgiving, but it just wasn't the same and didn't feel like... well, like Thanksgiving to me. So one of the girls invited us all over to her flat the following weekend and we had a "true" Thanksgiving with too many people in the kitchen and everyone in the way and total and utter chaos. It was awesome.

This year, it's what I was most looking forward to, and it didn't disappoint. With 30 people, approximately 20 of them American Teachers and 10 Czech friends/students/roommates, we had tons of people to help, get in the way and lazily sit around doing nothing.

Kaddy is the cook. She loves this cuz she can be bossy and order everyone around and they do what she asks! :) She managed to organize around 30 people, 2 turkeys and tons of food in a rather tiny flat. But we had a blast!

I was the lucky person who not only got to fold napkins, but I also was in charge of carving the turkey. That was an experience, let me tell you. Aprons were not abundant, so I got to use an old tablecloth instead. I cannot tell you how many pictures were taken, but I did an awesome job carving thanks to my Daddy's 10 minute lesson this summer on how to carve a turkey.

If I return next year, I'm going to miss this tradition. Not sure if any of the new people will enjoy cooking as much as Kaddy does.
