First Quarter
It’s been a minute since I’ve updated my blog and so much happened the last 4 months since 2019 started. I’ll try to break it down: Zimowisko/English Art Winter Camp I was tasked with helping some American volunteers from Foundry Church (Kansas City) with running their English Club class every day and leading a singing…

The CELTA Experience
What a wild, crazy ride this past month has been! I apologize for not posting much over the summer, but in a moment, you’ll understand why. First, I went back to the States for a little while to help my mom and aunt with my late grandma’s affairs and cleaning up my aunt’s house to…

It’s the little things…
I caught some sickness again at the end of this week. It was pretty mild compared to the strep throat incident at the end of September, but not fun all the same. I’m recovered now for the most part, but I realized I haven’t really kept up to date with my blog and what’s been…

Week 1
This past week was challenging for a lot of reasons. The first day on Monday was a little crazy with all the kids coming back from summer vacation and a the teachers not really having a full-out plan for what subjects to do in the preschool.

Day One: Tacos
I’m running around the house, trying to finish all the things on my to-do list. I didn’t manage my time time that well, but this is my first time leaving for a year. I’m used to coming back after a week or two. I won’t have that opportunity this time. Mom tells me she’ll take…
