One Year
Okay, so here’s the update for the past several weeks. I’m still
self-employed with a few hours at a college that I’m thinking of
asking to remove soon. I just don’t want to work -both private
and contracted- after 5 pm. I can fill in my mornings andafternoons
with private students. I have trouble forming an evening group, though.
I had some calls about in-company classes but that is not until
winter break.
I had a party with my friends and students to commemorate one year
of my practice and my 27th birthday. Not many people came because
it turned out that October is a birthday and holiday month. We had
a potluck party and I still drink the juice they brought. There’s a nasty
stain on my carpet for that matter. I received lovely presents, including
the Bible in modern day English.
Next week I’m heading for Stockholm, leaving on Monday and
returning on Thursday. I can’t keep all that excitement, I’m
about to explode! Yatta! I’ll post the photos asap.
My Italian classes are going well. I made some friends online
who live in Italy, so now I can practice more often.
I spend money on books but that’s the disease with no cure.
I still need to figure out where I can buy a dictionary of abbreviations.
My family gave me some money as a present to invest into a
Lithuanian-English dictionary, and so I did. It’s very practical.
I also had my hair cut. Now I’m one sexy teacher :DDD

Congratualtions!
On your one year mile marker of self employment.
I have been self employed while raising my daughter for the past 5 years-fortunately her mommy has a better paying job than I do!
What you’re doing takes real guts, best wishes for the coming year.
