Dora does teaching and dressing like a vampire (but not at the same time)

Since Herbstferien, I have started to feel more like I have an actual job. And I actually quite like it. Today I taught a class of 12 year olds about the London Underground; the first time I've ever stood in front of a class (not just since becoming a teaching assistant, but ever, in my life) and not been terrified. Maybe because for the first time, I felt like I knew what I was doing and also because these kids are inexplicably well behaved and enthusiastic. Wouldn't happen in the UK.

Halloween weekend was pretty special; I discovered that I like looking like a vampire and am somewhat tempted to do it every day, and also that in Germany it is perfectly acceptable to invite yourself and your friends to a party full of people you don't know. Our couchsurfing party was a success. I got far too wasted because people kept bringing me more drinks.

Tomorrow I'm teaching the simple past tense; first I have to learn what that is.

Dora.
