Week 9: Work abounding!

After responding to a few advertisements (which my love found, thankyou dear) on the local gumtree, from a few schools. I was contacted by one school for a substitution position for a contract that expires at the end of January. It was very short notice and I was called for preliminary interview one day prior to lesson, and went for said interview 5 hours before said lesson.. The shortness, my lack of teaching experience, my lack of knowing where anything is in this city, and the lack of information anywhere, made it extremely stressful and challenging. But my first lesson went well, students were happy and enthusiastic, and everything went according to plan (even though I didn't have one). The end result? I will have a work contract written up by next week and I'm technically working with a school now :)

Still continuing private lessons, even though I have only one client at the moment.. I was also contacted for interview on the 22nd December by another language school interested in cooperation, and so it looks my prospects are high and things will start to improve. Hopefully this will start eating my time more, so I will spend more time focussed and earning money, than being depressed and lonely :) Hoozah

P.S: -11c, wet, windy, in just a jacket, shirt + tie. for 2 1/2 hours = so incredibly cold I could feel my soul floating away towards the light.
