Ok things are finally getting settled down around here in Praha. I graduated last Friday from my TEFl class, and it was a really hard class- like 4 years of college crammed into 4 weeks. I also moved into a gorgeous flat in Dejviscka (North Western Prague - near the castle.) It is in a really nice neighborhood and right near a metro and a tram. I have my own room (which I will post pictures of soon) and our entire flat is furnished with antiques. Picture Titanic meets Beauty and The Beast.
I also had a lot of interviews this week (and actually one more tomorrow, and a follow up on Tuesday) and I got a job offer today! yayy!! From an International Language School - Berlitz. I acepted and I start my 1 week training on the 19th, then I will start teaching the week after training(and getting paid - yay!) They are also going to help me with my VISA- so I can live and work here legally, since my tourist VISA will be up on Dec. 4th.
I also got a job tutoring a 5 year old boy, his parents are native speakers, and want a natve english speaker to tutor him in addition to his Czech-English regular school. I also found out about a Special Education School and have applied there. In Prague you can work for many different schools, as long as the schedule works out - you could teach every morning for one school, and every afternoon for another, so it can be very flexible.
I am finally finding some time to do some sight seeing around the city... I went for a long walk across the Charles bridge and around the castle to a great little tea place with my friends Kelly and Sarah the other day and took some great pictures that I will post soon. I am still in my honeymoon phase with Prague- everything is still gorgeous!
Hope everyone is doing well! I miss you all :)
