Good start?
I hope you all had a good start into the year 2009!
New Year's Eve was absolutely fine and so I hoped to have a good start alltogether. However, it seems that there are a few ups and downs on the way already.
The Christmas Hols were great and I had some time to meet up with friends and spent a few days with my family. I love to play with my little gorgeous godchild Natalie, but she has grown so much over the last few months and I was told yesterday that she has made her first steps two days ago.
Germany has been a freezer since Christmas (up to -30°C) and today snow was falling thickly even here in Bamberg. I have to stay in bed at the moment, as I have caught the "Brisbane Influenza" or so it seems. I was not allowed to work the whole week and today my doctor told me that I am not allowed back at school till Thursday next. This is definitely one of my downs, as this has interrupted all my plans.
I was supposed to have my first "teaching exam", which means I have to "conduct a special lesson" with all the nice bits and pieces to impress my "judges" (my history teacher, the teacher of the class from which I took over a few weeks ago and the headmaster, of course). My topic would have been: Who is responsible for the First World War? But as I am still ill, we had to delay it for another 2 weeks. My form is a year 12 history foundation course and it is really frustrating and annoying that now I can throw everything I have done so far into the bin. Great.
And as this was the day of bad news, I got another one: I have to move again. Today at school we received the letters which told us where our new school is from the 16th of February onwards. Okay, it could have been worse, but I do not like to leave Bamberg, as I absolutely adore this place and it has become my home over the last 7 years. My new school is actually only 30km from my parents (Martin Pollich Gymnasium Mellrichstadt) and I have to think about what I am going to do. I do not want to move out completely, as I definitely come back to Bamberg in a years time to finish my teaching course at the Franz-Ludwig-Gymnasium. However, I am not too keen to move back to my parents, but it would save money and I could hold my flat here in Bamberg - of which my flatmate obviously is very fond! So I have to spend some thoughts on that topic over the weekend too, but there is also an exam of my year 12 which I have to correct as soon as possible.
Hope you are all well and without influenza!
Take care
