Ok, ok... I get it.

Alright, so after many requests, I have officially caved in and put up a blog. I can pretty much guarantee that I will not be updating very often as I doubt I will have the time, energy, or will to do so, but I will try my best to at least keep you all up to date on the funny stories.

I've been in Bratislava for just over a week now and I really like it. It's a really cute city... big enough to have lots to do, but small enough for me not to get hopelessly lost every time I go out. Everyone at the school is really nice, too. I was really happy to find that out because these are the people I will basically be living with for the next year so it would really suck if they sucked.

I'm not entirely sure where I'll be working yet. I've been told 50 different things by 50 different people so for now I'm still just waiting. At the moment, I live in a flat in Bratislava with two other teachers. If I have to go to Trnava, I will get my own place there. If not, I will eventually wind up in my own place here in Bratislava. Either way, I will be teaching Kindergarten. Here, kindergarten means ages 3-5, so they're REALLY young. They don't speak English at the beginning either, so that should be interesting. Luckily, though, I will have another teacher in the room with me who speaks Slovak, so that should be helpful.

Anyway, I'm not really in the mood for writing... I'll get back to you when I do something interesting!

Loves you!
