So I had orientation last week. It was kind of a whirlwind of information, but they have this great program in Mankato where they have veteran teachers take time off from their teaching duties to mentor new teachers full time for three years. It’s kind of amazing that they allocate those resources to supporting new […]
Well, Will had an interview today in Mankato, so it was a good time for me to try to schedule a little bit of technology training at the school. The computer keeper at the school said I needed ten hours of training, so I was prepared to do maybe five hours today and five hours […]
Will and I went down to Mankato today to look at an apartment. We’ve been having a heck of a time finding a two bedroom; probably due to it being a college town and September coming up. Anyway, it’s a great location for us. The high school is walkable for me and Will might do […]
The day we came home, we got up early to finalize the packing and clean up the room. Our train to Frankfurt was leaving at 7:50. We had a lot of luggage. I had our two regular sized backpacks, one on my back and one in the front, and I had our smallest rolly bag. […]
We got up early, had some cereal, and headed for some museums. Specifically, the science museum. Hopefully, it wouldn’t rain much because Will’s umbrella snapped in half. Of course, because it’s London, it did rain. But it’s odd because it will rain heavily for about ten minutes and then it will be sunny and then […]
Last night, we got a good night’s sleep despite the snorer. Maybe we just slept through it, but I think that’s unlikely; the snoring was really offensive. I think maybe he just didn’t snore that night, which is really odd. I have a theory: maybe he was so passed out on alcohol or drugs, his […]
We got up and got dressed and we had a few questions to clarify at reception. I was seriously considering asking if it would be at all possible to switch rooms because of the snorer and because neither of the lockers under our bed were functional. So we got to the desk and Will simply […]
The morning of the day we left Salamanca for London was lazy. We had bought a ton of food the night before that we hadn’t eaten, so we were all set on the breakfast front. We had some delicious goat cheese with some bread and carrots. Mostly we Internetted and packed our bags. Our train […]
When we went to my teacher’s house a few weeks ago, we had this salad with Spanish goat cheese. I don’t normally like goat cheese, but the stuff we had there was pretty good, so we decided to look for some Spanish goat cheese in Salamanca. This cheese is delicious. It comes as a white […]
On day 2 in Bratislava, we took a tour, which started at Hviezdoslavovo Square. Before the tour, we just chilled in the square a bit. This is where the tour group meets, at the statue of Hviezdoslav. He was a poet. There was a statue of an unpopular politician here, but one day they blew […]
