GREETINGS FROM POLAND!!!

Hello Everyone! How are you? I have made it back. It was a long plane ride back but I finally made it! My normal 14-18 hour trip turned into 24 hours :). Once I arrived I was greeted by my directors of the school. We had a lovely time crammed into the car on our trip back to town! :) They had been to ikea that morning and then I showed up with 7 bags. I had warned my directors husband but he thought one more back of stuff. ;) I came home to no electricity but it was fun to light candles and unpack at 2am. I was so excited to be back. I knew I was ready to be back but once I got back it was amazing how happy I was and ready for what's to come. Most people asked me here if it felt like a long time I was gone and I said yes...and that it was a good thing! I think I am even more ready for the crazy school year. :)

Yesterday I went to lunch at the camp and got to sit and chat with many of my friends. For a little while I got to get away with some of the Americans and just sit with them and catch up on "life." Then I spent the late afternoon having coffee with my director and hearing about all the changes for school and the challenges/joys we both had during the summer. I found out that I will now have 6 classes a day to teach and also I will be "overseeing" the english stuff at the preschool and school. I am a little nervous for all of this because I first need to get the preschool curriculum figured out and planned ;). Luckily, the preschool doesn't start english until October. One of the things that will make it easier for me is if the parents of some of the classes agree to buying workbooks for their kids. Other than that things are moving right along. :) I am loving my being back in my apartment. I loved this summer and all that I got to do and see. People were so amazing with opening their house to me BUT I am at heart a home-maker...so being back at my apartment is very important. I'm even going to have a small group of people over this week to catch up. Until then though....it's cleaning for me. :) Love you all!
