The Adventures of Maika: March 2009
http://theadventuresofmaika.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Maika. Sunday, March 1, 2009. Bratislava is a little confused as to what it should be doing with itself right now. Last week, it snowed almost every night (which made walking to school, through a foot of snow, really crazy! But today the snow is almost completely melted and I hear birds singing. My family tells me that Colorado has blooming flowers, and I can only hope that the grey days of winter are almost over! I bet you Minnesotans are SOO there too! Pray in a monestary. About an ho...

The Adventures of Maika. Sunday, April 27, 2008. Holy cow: I just accepted a position to live and teach in Slovakia for a year!

The Adventures of Maika: January 2009
http://theadventuresofmaika.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Maika. Wednesday, January 14, 2009. Well, December came and went like a gust of wind! The greatest part of December was when my family came to visit me! The five of us spent the holiday gallivanting around Prague, Vienna, Bratislava, and Munich! And, realistically, if our gas doesn't come back (Russia cut off their supply to the Ukraine, which is the country that supplies ours), school migtht be closed because there will be no heat! We haven't been affected yet, but it is interesting to...

The Adventures of Maika: February 2009
http://theadventuresofmaika.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Maika. Wednesday, February 11, 2009. I sit in front of my computer all the time: writing lesson plans, researching, writing e-mails, Skyping, and yet I do not seem to make it here as often as I used to. Many apologies to those of you who I haven't communicated with in a while! And Mythology, and baking cookies for an upcoming spring break trip to Greece! To travel to an English speech competition. My groggy students showed up, and, after a two hour train ride, an hour of locating th...

http://theadventuresofmaika.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Maika. Tuesday, April 14, 2009. I think I mentioned, at one point, that March was going to be unwieldy and long, but it somehow seemed to slip right by! I currently sit in my flat: windows open, sun and construction noises pouring in the window, and there is a little fly friend that keeps trying to visit me. I have the day off (still Easter break), and am enjoying a little spring cleaning, relaxing, and catching up. Happy late Easter to everyone! As always, thanks for reading, share sto...

The Adventures of Maika: September 2008
http://theadventuresofmaika.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Maika. Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Interesting things that have happened lately:. 1 I walked home from school one day and counted the following:. Three older ladies: two with red hair, one with purple. It is a big thing for older women to dye their hair in radical colors! One guy walking down the cobblestone street carrying a computer screen - cord dragging on the ground? There will be a picture someday because it must be seen - words can't really capture its amazingness. This, good-by...

The Adventures of Maika: November 2008
http://theadventuresofmaika.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Maika. Sunday, November 30, 2008. Ok, for a country that does not have this particular holiday, I have ended up celebrating it more times than I ever have before! I had three Thanksgiving celebrations this year! Thanksgiving #2 was with Chase and his co-workers on Thanksgiving day! It was so fun to be with families (there was an adorable little boy named Olie who is one and very stoic and likes computer keyboards) - surrounded by good food and good company. It was hard not being around ...

The Adventures of Maika: A New Familiar Dance
http://theadventuresofmaika.blogspot.com/2009/10/new-familiar-dance.html
The Adventures of Maika. Saturday, October 10, 2009. A New Familiar Dance. Oh my: welcome October! I was unsure whether or not I would continue to blog this year or not (as I was not very faithful at writing at the end of last year.eek! Lately, a number of people have asked for the address again, and so I will continue the record of Slovakia here on this page. Happy reading. :). The other class I teach is a group of students that I taught last year! Last Saturday, I came back early from a BBQ with my co-...
