Quick entry

Nothing really interesting, to tell the truth, just small things. School doesn't really leave me any time for bigger tasks.

In any case, I've done a lot of Dwarf research, just for the fun of it. Moved along this year's Advent Calendar a bit. Updated "The Toreador Chronicles" again - you can see the new chapter at hiddenrealms, complete with Teh Evil Cliffhanger of Doom(TM).

Two former students resurfaced, wanting to learn English/prepare themselves for language proficiency exam of German, respectively. They're very nice girls, I'll be happy to see them regularly again.

So, what else? I'm still moderately sick, not to mention tired and a bit worried about the political situation, especially now that food prices are going to rocket to the skies. But what can we do?

Well, the deal is that she does pay a little (2/3 of what other students pay), but if she manages to pass the language proficiency exam, she gets her money back in the form of a savings book, or whatever it's called in English.

I'd be willing to teach her for free, but this way, she's better motivated to actually make the exam... and she'll have some money saved for her future, if she truly does. She's the same girl I've been paying a "private scholarship" for the last four years. She doesn't know it comes from me, of course, that would be a bit awkward. But she gets her money after each term if she reaches a certain average of marks. So far, she has reached it each time (thinks it comes from some religious benefactor I've found for her), so I'm hopeful that she'll pass the exam, too.

I'm so very proud of her. She's a nice girl, and an eager one, without overdoing it.
