Best of Both Worlds: November 2009
http://erininukraine.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Best of Both Worlds. My life as a perpetual English teacher. Monday, November 23, 2009. Today, the quarantine is lifted, and the Ukrainians are back to life as usual. I am back to a version of life as usual. Because the schools are really behind, I'm not quite sure when I'll actually be back in the classrooms. I did, however, need to trek out to the bus station to buy my ticket to Dnipropetrovsk for Thanksgiving. I am still a little bummed about the 6:10 am bus departure time. Thursday, November 19, 2009.

HOW did he get there? Don't worry.we made Robby eat that piece. :). Thus the need for allergy medication. We visited together (and with Page.she was here, too! Thursday, May 27, 2010.

Best of Both Worlds. My life as a perpetual English teacher. Monday, May 18, 2009. Back up.birthday post. Well, last Monday was my birthday. Here's a document of the festivities:. This was my translation task. It took me a loooooong time. But, I have to say, it was very sweet. The tasks formed a path, leading from the front door to my bedroom door. After I completed my last task, I opened my bedroom door and found about 26 Ukrainians crammed in there! It's part-English, part-Russian. People came and went...

She was quite lovely with golden hair and extremely straight teeth. Throughout her life, she embarked on many fabulous adventures but none was so great as her adventure to the land of Ukraine.

Best of Both Worlds. My life as a perpetual English teacher. Friday, January 29, 2010. I'm experiencing a weather phenomenon. Today, however, we're having a heat wave. It's up to 16 degrees. It is snowing, but when I went outside, I literally thought, "Hey, it's so much warmer today! I'm a firm believer that the gray, cloudy, snowy days are a smidge warmer.the clouds acting as insulation. The sunny days are beastly. Monday, January 25, 2010. I had lunch with a former KGB agent today. It's true! He met Jo...
