First day of the last week before vacation – complete. After this week, I can say goodbye to school until the 9th of January! For those of you who don’t know, I will be taking a ski-trip over New Years’ with Josh and Johannes. The plan is for Josh to come visit here in Romania, and then the two of us will hop a train to Austria where we will be met by Johannes. After a few days in Vienna/Graz, off to Tyrol for some great skiing. I am so very excited, especially because when I agreed to Uzbekistan, I kinda ruled out skiing for those entire two years. So yes, winter is here and as I speak it is snowing gently – covering up all the icy spots on the pavement…. My apartment is looking good, as I recently purchaced some candles. School seems to be going better as well. I’ve come up with some interesting longer term projects for many of my classes, and due to popular demand, will be starting an English club when I return. Below is a picture I took while visiting another PCV’s site:
Hey Matt-
Have a wonderful time skiing. I am so jealous! I finally got John to go for his first time last year, but now that we are expecting a baby I can’t ski this season. So have a a great time! And enjoy your visit with your friends. I am also counting down the days this last week before my school’s winter break. Enjoy your time off! Can’t wait to hear about your English club once you get back. We all miss you back in the states!
Love, Bette
Hello Mr. Matthew—vunderbar, you sound so very excited, i know how you like to ski, but i must say that for me the sight of snow and the blustrey weather makes me want to go and hide, just cant take it, even when i was much younger.
Seems that all is going well at school, and as one who has such a great grasp of the english language i am a little jealous that i cant become a member of your enlish club.
Stay well, be careful when you ski and enjoy yourself——
Love, G&G
Happy Holidays Dear Friend!
