It only took about a month and a half, I really hope it was worth the wait. In Köln and the training course I didn't sleep very well, I wonder if it was because I wasn't used to the luxury (of youth hostel foam matresses...oh dear).
Man-o-man*, this was meant to be something other than a run down of my sleeping and eating habits, which the past few entries seem to have become.
However, if I can't talk about eating or sleeping, the next thing I think of to talk about is the weather. It is very cold. On my way to school today, there was a police van at the traffic light. The driver was wearing a jumper, and despite the fact it was obviously part of the police uniform, and it was a khaki green colour, with mustard yellow trimmings, which looked like it would get horribly misshapen, I caught myself thinking 'Wow, that looks like a warm jumper'.
I'd like to think that I've developed a sense of German practicality, in reality I think the cold may be affecting my brain. And still there's that nagging thought- it's only October, how am I going to manage the proper winter months?!
And finally: On the school trip to the zoo on Wednesday, the kids learnt all about monkeys, and then they created a little model monkey out of pipe cleaners and so on. One of the children named their monkey after me. I'm not quite sure whether to be flattered or offended...
*The kids say this all the time at school, I still find it hilarious.
