The journal of my life in Szentes, a little town on the Great Plain. Friday, May 9, 2008. End of the year ceremonies. Hungarian for the day: Sok sikert a jövőben. "Good luck (lit. much success) in the future". One of my classes serenading my colleagues and I from the street below the school. My colleagues rush around our work room decorating and waiting for the seniors to come through on their walkabout around the school. The students leaving the gym for the big ceremony. "Wait!

http://sziaszentes.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
The journal of my life in Szentes, a little town on the Great Plain. Saturday, January 17, 2009. Jen, a volunteer. Szentes, I couldn. As far as I could. As far as capital. Is a bit ironic. Jen, no trip. Tirana is a rapidly. Trusty at the top and somewhat less winded than Jen or I as he ascended by way of Jen's purse. The city of Berat as seen from the castle. Another view of Berat, this time with the river and impressive Mt Timori. A pretty little corner of the castle. Exploring the Ottoman neighborhood.

Szia Szentes!: September 2008
http://sziaszentes.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
The journal of my life in Szentes, a little town on the Great Plain. Friday, September 19, 2008. The kind of teacher I am. It's 6pm on Friday and I just learned while IMing a friend that today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. I am devastated because this would have made today's classes not just good, not great, but some unparalleled level of awesome. Sigh. When I posted this woeful news in my Gchat status bar I realized I wasn't the only one who was taken by surprise by this unsung holiday:.

The journal of my life in Szentes, a little town on the Great Plain. Monday, February 25, 2008. Ski Break Part 1: Vienna. Hungarian for the day: Szeretek si szünetet! Pron: Sara-tek shee sooh-ne-tet. I love ski break! I'm going to post our travels in a few different posts, the first one here for our time in Vienna with more to follow in a few days. Like plot line, or we were going to wake up sans kidneys. It turns out that it was just a simple good deal - they still exist in Vienna of all places! The nex...

The journal of my life in Szentes, a little town on the Great Plain. Monday, November 26, 2007. Hungary on Turkey Day. Hungarian for the day:. Literally "pumpkin good" but colloquially "cool/awesome/great.". Hero's Square at night (a bit before 5PM). Gayle and the Palace on Buda's Castle Hill both looking lovely in the evening. The Danube still looks beautiful on a gray day. Gayle and I with the Buda hills in the background after our climb up Castle Hill. The alter of Matthias Cathedral. After spending s...

Spring is here, the birds are." well they're having their fun. Josh and Alina smile for the camera with Prague's Castle Hill in the background across the Vltava River. Seeking some more lighthearted fun we crossed the famous Charles Bridge. St Vitus Cathedral, located at the heart of the castle complex, dates back to 1344. Eventually we found ourselves near...

http://sziaszentes.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
The journal of my life in Szentes, a little town on the Great Plain. Sunday, December 23, 2007. It's beginning to look a lot like Karácsony. Hungarian for the day: Kellemes karácsonyi ünnepeket és boldog új évet! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! The snowy view from my balcony. Szentes' main square with its tiny Christmas market. Ducks on the Kurca. I took this picture on my way to school Friday morning. Does it give you an idea of how freezing it is here? Sunday, December 9, 2007. Let's have a ball.

Szia Szentes!: October 2007
http://sziaszentes.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
The journal of my life in Szentes, a little town on the Great Plain. Tuesday, October 30, 2007. Hungarian for the day: Meleg vagyok. Literally "I'm warm" but colloquially "I'm gay." I did not know this when trying to explain to my Freshman students the English word "warm" and its uses by using my paltry Hungarian and saying "meleg vagyok." In retrospect this explains the outbreak of pandemonium in a few of my classes. On the back of the freedom riding truck with lots of zealous Hungarians. That day comin...
