Two weeks till Christmas

There are three main reasons why I'm excited about Christmas this year:
1) I'll get Charlie
2) I have dumped my job in the kindergarten, so 21st December is my last working day! Hurray! No more overcrowded buses, walking to the   Prisma  bus stop, screaming, uncontrollable and always sick kids...
3) Somebody else is going to cook :)

Things at school are getting better and better, I really do enjoy my job but still, I'm looking forward to the holidays, a lot!

I need to do plans for the kindergarten till tomorrow, including assessments of each child at each month. I even don't know all the names! I have no idea what some of the kids know! It seems quite pointless to me to write about each child's knowledge, they're too young and with some of them it's difficult to assess them. I could imagine writing some kind of a feedback on their classroom work (but then I would appreciate if the parents read it and worked with their kids). I'd better started, so I finish it today :)
I might not go to the kindergarten on Monday and Tuesday because I want to take school kids downtown to take some pictures for our project with Lenka. So, I need to try a bit to keep them happy because my letter of resignation definitely didn't make their day. What the heck did they expect? To work for less money than promised, to enjoy my unprofitable contract, to watch the pets suffer...? The pet thing: The kindergarten has quite a lot pets, budgies, turtle, some more birds, chip monkeys, a pony - they keep them in small cages, feed them well, though but nobody socialize with them. It's damn sad life to be surrounded by people but nobody really cares...Or maybe I'm just too judgmental. I can't wait to get out of that job! On the other hand, I really wanted to get to know with the EVS volunteer who's coming in January - still haven't found any friends here, so she could be the one :) But, I usually get on better with boys than girls, so I need to keep looking, I guess.

I need to go Christmas present shopping but things are more expensive here than in Czech and the weather is so depressing....
