Well I think the end of summer is finally here. After three weeks of sunny and 70s weather the temperatures have gone down to the 50s, and it's been raining off and on since Thursday night.
There isn't much to tell about the last few days. Thursday was my first normal day in Berndorf, but I was only in two classes, and only one of them for the full hour. I'll be posting pictures today from both Bad Vöslau and Berndorf so you can see what the schools look like.
Thursday night I went over to my friend Liz's house for dinner, wine, and King Kong (in German). In the end we talked all the way through the movie about our schools, teachers, students, homes usw... (etc...). Yesterday I caught up on housework, planned & read. Since it was rainy and cold it was the perfect day to curl up and read a book! For one of the classes I'll be teaching I'm reading Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult, I should really take notes while reading it since I have a month until I'll be teaching it. Today I wandered around town a bit since it looked like a nicer day, and I like to do some shopping on Saturdays, since everyone else is also out and about in town. It was really windy and chilly, and then it started raining as I headed home from grocery shopping.
I still haven't figured out my washing machine here, I can't find out anything about the model online, and there isn't a manual here. There's still scummy water sitting in it, and my landlord has yet to get back to me about it... so I ended up washing a bunch of clothes by hand today. My plan for the rest of the day involves watching Harry Potter in German (the voices are so strange!) and further lesson planning for the week.
