First week over

[wiseheart]

And it was a godawful last day, too. We had nonstop meetings from 8 o'clock to 12.45; well, we had one stop around 9.30, but that was abysmally short. The fact that we didn't hear anything of real importance in all those endless hours wasn't really surprising; it is mostly like that with our meetings. At least I managed to seam the clasps of 10 mini sewing kits during all the desperate boredom.

Afterwards our lunch group, with slightly different participants, went to the little eatery again. Lunch was delicious and we enjoyed the last chance to be together peacefully. Starting with Monday I'll be working in the opposite shift with everyone again. I keep remember myself that it's only for another 3 months.

One of my colleagues approached me today with the request to go with her and her 8th-term class to Vienna around the end of the school year (she forgot that I won't be there any longer by that time), as her class - a somewhat problematic one - has apparently taken a liking to me. I said I'd gladly do so. I love Vienna, and we'd be 3 adults for about 15 or so teenagers, so it should be possible. For someone who was supposedly such a rubbish teacher (according to Boss Woman), it is a bit of a satisfaction that such a problematic class would like me and ask me to join them on their very last trip together.

One week closer to retirement.

Yes, Vienna sounds wonderful! And yeah three teachers for 15 teenagers sounds doable, even with them being a problematic class.

I hate endless meetings like that.

Hopefully you will be allowed to go on that trip even if you don't work there anymore.

Vienna, just a train ticket away ... an ocean away here - sigh. The trip sounds lovely. Congratulations on your near retirement!
