The big move

Today was moving day and what a day it was!

We had to carry so much stuff today. First we had to carry all of our huge suitcases and bags down two flights of stairs in the hotel. Then we had to carry all of them back up three more flights of stairs when we got to the apartment. It was such hard work. Then we went to get some groceries, but the store is like a mile away. So we had to carry big bags back to the apartment, and when we got there our keys to the outside door didn't work. We had to call the landlady. Then she called someone else who lives in the apartment to come down and let us in. It was such a mess, and I am sure we are all going to be really sore tomorrow!

They are still doing some work on the apartment, so my bedroom won't be ready until early next week. I can' wait until I can finally unpack everything in my suitcase. I am sure there are things in there I don't even remember packing.

We observed another class today. It was the youngest group. They are about 8 years old and have not had any English before. They were so cute! They had to go around and introduce themselves and say how they were feeling today, and they were so into it. I can't wait until I start teaching, which will be October 16.

This weekend the main thing I have to do is laundry. Which I am not too excited about. The laundromat is a little ways a way, and it is SO expensive. It costs 5 euros to do a load of laundry and then 2 euros for only 15 minutes in the dryer. (A euro is about 1.25 in American dollars) So I think I will be doing a lot in the sink at the apartment.

Well, I am off to get a key that works for my apartment, so that I can actually get back in when I go to do laundry tomorrow.
