text it. now i can stop getting threatening emails from my parents about the phone bill.
Anyway, Felsopatony is wonderful. Its a small village of about 1800 people and this is the first year LE has been here in a while - thus my classes are pretty small, only about 25 students total. One class is for intermediate children and the second is a mix of grammas and smarty pants teenagers who somehow managed to become fluent in English. Its pretty sweet. Today we threw water balloons and tomorrow Im making the adults play hatchi patchi. Feedback has been really positive and so everyday i get one or two new students. Guys, Im really not surprised. I am preeeeetty much the greatest teacher ever.
water balloons for educational purposes
My host family is also great. I live in the mayors house, which has an identical floor plan to the house I where I lived in Udvard over a year ago.. weird huh! Ive got a sweet bedroom full of Green Day posters because my host sister is in London au pairing for the summer.
My host brother is super sweet and the cutest thing ever. Just imagine Balazs at age 16. He translates my life for me and escorts me to school. Then in the evenings we go to the bigger town to play pool and drink becherovka and zlaty bazant with his friends.
My parents cant understand why i refuse to drink and smoke in front of them. I keep trying to explain to them that in the states theres a sense of inpropriety for teachers to do things like that, and so my host brother said give me your hand. He put an unopened pack of marlboro lights in it and told me to go home and smoke them all. WHAT A SWEETHEART! Last night we went to bed with the soothing flavors of fernet and tonic in our tummies. Life is good.
Ive met a lot of people so far.. I think I have exchanged phone numbers with every single person who even remotely speaks English in a 25 km radius.
I think I might jump in a lake right now. Enjoy the rest of your day!
