Rotary weekend
Last weekend (12-15) was the rotary Christmas meeting. All the students in Slovakia came to Bratislava. Friday, we had Secret Santa, and I received a ginormous Teddy Bear. On Saturday, we went to Vienna, my first time there! We didn´t make it to the large Christmas Market, but we visited some smaller ones. It was absolutely beautiful!

Mikulaš!!
Yesterday morning I had agreat surprise; Mikulaš came! In all of Europe, Santa comes on the sixth of december, to good children. You are supposed to polish your shoes and he will fill them with treats, but now he just leaves it at the foot of the bed. He was very good to me: I got two bags of chocolate and various treats, plus an Advent calendar!

Welcome to December!
The Vianoce Trhy (Christmas Market) is officially up and open.
My camera won't upload pictures right now, but when it will I will post them!

A green-ish X-mas..
I am very sad to write this, but there is officially no snow in Bratislava, because all of the two centimeters we got melted days ago. The temperature is between 6-11 degrees celsius during the day, and four at night. It reminds me of mid October, except that there are no colourful leaves, and it also resembles Victoria in that everything is still green. It rains quite a bit too, but not constantly. The forecast is predicting the weather to remain at present temperature/state, which I find very depressing.
Anyways, teaching the Prima went well. Two of my classmates and I played games with them, and they understood almost everything! In other school news, they changed the sound of the bell; we have a bell that signals the beginning and end of each lesson, and now instead of ringing, it does a musical chime followed by 1 minute of a randomly-machine-chosen song. It is creative, but the staff hasn't decided yet if it will stay in place. Sometimes I like it, but other times not so much, depending on what song plays.
