A handful of news.

First of all, I did enroll to a guide course. In April I will be a certified guide and will
be available for hire in English and Lithuanian. I will show Vilnius to foreign and
local tourists as the European capital of culture 2009. I also joined the city ambassador
programme and am a proud holder of the information pack. And there was an
anime show in the cinema that local anime lovers organised!

Next, I am still paying for my trip to London. It’s now definitely two weeks long:
one week for studies and one week for sightseeing. I’m still working on
the list of sights to include. Hey, would anyone host me?

Also, on Easter holidays I am going to Malta for a week. It’s going to be a
relaxing holiday with bits of sightseeing. I’m coming with my mom (again ).
There isn’t much information online about this island and what sights are not to
be missed, so please tip me off.

It seems that my business certificate won’t change and I hope I will not
close down my private teaching practice next year. Becoming a certified guide
might help me through slow summer months and be a nice change.

It’s getting Christmas-like and I’m broke. On the other hand, I have much free time.

Okay, today I booked host family accommodation. It’s a single room
with half board. They say it’s ten minutes walk to the school. I will
probably need a third job to pay for the two weeks in London.

Tomorrow I am going to talk about courses for guides. One travel agency
is running a course beginning this week. It’s 6 months long but possibly
I can have extra work as a guide in summer, when it’s a tourist season
and privates are low. That is overlapping with my future Italian studies and
I don’t want to quit either of these.

I’m very tired and really need holidays. I wish I could work less and
have more time for myself.
