Hungarian Lessons: February 2007
http://hungarianlessons.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 27, 2007. I've just polished off a nice rectangle slice of chocolate Hungarian cake and I still can't get over how marvelous cake is here. Whenever I walk to my grocery store to get food, I pass by this "cukraszda" or cake shop. It's tiny, with two tables inside. I never fail to look over my shoulder as I pass the frosted window, to get a glance at the shelves of cakes on show underneath the glass. Thursday, February 22, 2007. The Father is dead set on bringing the Baptist way to these ...

Where did you go to school? Knowing he doesn't know that central Illinois exists) "In the USA.". Ahhh I understand.". The August ...

Hungarian Lessons: Survivor Notes from the CELTA
http://hungarianlessons.blogspot.com/2007/06/survivor-notes-from-celta.html
Friday, June 01, 2007. Survivor Notes from the CELTA. My whole experience abroad started when I started to feel restless in my first year teaching job in the US. I wanted to travel and be around people different from myself. I wasn't exactly getting any satisfaction from teaching high schoolers in southern Illinois. It wasn't for me at the time. I applied for a CELTA course in Budapest. At the International House. Why Budapest? I scanned over the faces of the people I'd be working closely with and tried ...

Hungarian Lessons: Viszlát!
http://hungarianlessons.blogspot.com/2007/07/viszlt.html
Thursday, July 12, 2007. I leave Hungary tomorrow morning at 8:25 am, Friday the 13th, for Chicago where I'll get to see my brother whom I haven't seen for two years and my parents. I'm excited to go home. For other reasons, I'm sad. But overall, I'm prepared to go back. I never thought I'd be happy about that). And I'll be far enough away from Hungary to start processing a vast reflection of my time here. Not, of course, ready to miss Kat on this end. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Home, yet lost.

I guess the conditions were right for ...

http://brieggy.blogspot.com/2007/06/eastern-european-expereince.html
It takes a village to raise a child, but a town of 32,000 to raise a conversational english/german teacher. Thursday, June 14, 2007. The Eastern European Expereince. Don't get me wrong, I would love for the schools to be more organized. Kat wrote a great letter to the schools of Hungary who are taking Foreign teachers with what they could do. Check it out on her blog here. Not only can I verify all of the things on this list, I can add some that have happened this week. These are only my top three for th...

Nő Experience: June 2007

It takes a village to raise a child, but a town of 32,000 to raise a conversational english/german teacher. Thursday, June 28, 2007. Goodbye - My least favorite word. Today I left Gyula. I no longer live nor teach there. It is sad and interesting. I return to the United States, like many CETPers, lured by a place at Grad school. Beautiful things I will remember on the plane, when I finally realize I am leaving-. Drinking Wine and toasting everyone. Being called Draga by the other teachers. Thank you to e...
