Hello everyone! We don't have any stunning, scenic pictures to put up like in our last threes posts from Berlin, Zurich and Paris. We hope you enjoyed seeing all of the pictures! We are now three weeks into the current term. There are only three more weeks left to go until our next one week break. We are happy to report that some our classes are going a lot more smoothly! Dare we say that the students are beginning to settle down and behave? Knock on wood!
The first Monday back to work, January 7, was Briana's 25th birthday so we went out for dinner with our housemates. We also had a lot of fun that week telling our colleagues and students about our engagement. During the second week back to work the receptionist at the school hosted an engagement party for us at her house. It was a really nice get together with lots of food and drink. It was nice to be able to celebrate with our colleagues, especially since we couldn't celebrate with any of you at home. Students are still coming up to us asking "Is it true that you're engaged to Mr. Truong/Miss Paola?" It's been fun to start thinking about wedding plans! We look forward to coming home in the summer to see everyone and start organizing some more wedding stuff. We have set our wedding date for August 22, 2009.
During our one week off in February, we will be going back to Germany for a few days. We will be visiting Cologne and Boppard. The purpose of our trip is to "inspect" the locations that we will be visiting in June with 45 students during activities week.
Last weekend we went to the movie theatre to watch I Am Legend with Will Smith. Bri screamed during the movie. When we got home Will put on the movie Ratatouille to ease Bri's nerves before bed. 😊 We've started using a membership at the local swimming and fitness complex. Every weekend we try to make a point of swimming laps in the pool. At the beginning our endurance wasn't very good, but it's improving!
That's about all we have to share with you this week. We hope everyone is doing well at home!
