Till

In my time here, I expected Sulamit to help teach me German. As of this week, she is also teaching me English. Did you know that the little money box is called a "till"? I guess I probably did at some point learn this, but I did not recall such a word for this "cash box" until this week.

One school complete, one in mid-progress, and one to go! It has been a successful week. Yesterday, Sula and I managed our first school in Graz. We were so proud of ourselves in the end! Thursday we will do a check-out and then Friday we have to organize the last school for the month. It should be calmer for a time regarding these BLAST schools. It will be nice to get into the office to clean and (re-)organize some things.

The current run down of random details:
Today I was supposed to go to a "Hütte" with Sonja, J, and Uschi. A "hütte" is a hut or cabin in the alps. They plan to hunt for mushrooms and just enjoy quiet time in the woods. I made the opt to stay in Graz today when I awoke this morning thinking of the many things I need to do. Sad, but true. We have House Group tonight. It will be great, as Julia is doing our lesson.
Thursday, Mike will take me to a doctor to get this little form taken care of for the University. It isn't a huge deal and they say it will take just 5-10 minutes. It merely has to be done. Also on Thursday, I need to go to BLAST Hill and manage the work for the last school this week.
Friday, I go to Eggersdorf to meet with the other English teachers. We will organize some schedule for me at this time. I'm thinkin' that Schoolhouse Rock might have to make an appearance in Eggersdorf this fall. Friday afternoon I finish the check-in requirements for the School and then the School starts. I will attend this one! It will be good and I am looking forward to it.
Monday, I will take my German placement exam! I am looking forward to getting this over with.
Tuesday, hopefully, I can deliver the last (I pray) documents to the Uni and then I will await my letter of admissions.

And now, back to work. :-(
