January
Hello again everyone!
I promise this entry will not be as surprising for most of you as the last one! I don't have a lot of news really. Spain is unseasonally warm at the moment - clear skies and temperatures up to 20 degrees most days. I have been told, however, that winter will hit us next week. I am not looking forward to that!
Work has been really tough over the last couple of weeks. I am finding it hard to settle back down into the lesson planning etc - nothing is 'flowing' at the moment, and so I seem to spend much of my time either lesson planning or thinking about lesson planning. Doesn't make for much of a chilled life!!
In the last couple of weeks I have been able to talk a few times with a couple of close friends in Thailand (Jill and Penny) for quite a while which has been very good. I miss Thailand, and them, a lot. Jill has an amazing new job which she will be starting next month (flying to Mexico for a month's training). It seems we have all now moved on. This time in two weeks none of us will be at the school we met and taught at. Penny was sick over Christmas but seems fine now - just frustrated with lesson planning (sounds familiar).
Matt, of course, has been a godsend. We talk every day and usually succeed in getting totally frustrated about living in different countries! Anyhow, he is coming here next weekend and we are planning to be tourists in Granada before coming back here to Martos for a couple of days. We have booked a few flights now for the next couple of months, - back and forwards, so I know that we have lots to look forward to, prior to me going back permanently. Not easy though. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so caring about my students and their exams. If that were the case, I would go to him right now.
My big new news is that I had an 'interview / phone chat' with the recruiter from the English Summer School (http://www.buckswood.com) I worked at last year, and I have been offered the position of Director Of Studies. I am very excited about it. Being DoS will be a good experience, and also good for my CV. I think the job will be quite tough but a natural progression to my career. First time for anything is always the most nerve wracking isnt't it? I am postive I can do the job well though.
I don't have much more news. Work work work and not much else!!
I hope you are all well, and thank you for all the emails and phone calls, re Matt and I, and the support. Good to know you are all happy for us!!
Love
Laus
