A day in the life of...
Well, as hard as it is to believe, I have less than two weeks left in the US before I move to Slovakia! Yeah! I am so excited! Training has been intense and hard, yet very benifitial. I have made some wonderful friends... all of whom will be living in various countries around the world, such as the Czech Republic, Hungary, Moracco, China, Vietnam, and Russia.
A typical day at training goes something like this...
6:15 - Wake up, shower and get ready for the day
7:00 - Go to breakfast and talk with friends
8:00 - Discovery Groups (affectionatly know as Disco groups) where we discuss things such as culture, leadership and personalities
9:00 - TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) learning stategies for how to teach overseas
10:30 - Sessions on our specific region (for me Central Europe) and how teaching there will be different than here
12:00 - Lunch with disco group to continue earlier discussion
12:45 - Free time, hip hip hooray!
1:30 - Session about the Teach Overseas organization
2:45 - Session about how to interact with our students
4:00 - Practicum Prep (planning lessons incorporating what we learned in our TEFL session)
5:30 - Dinner with disco group
6:30 - Leave for Practicum
7:00 - Practicum (We serve the community by teaching English class to Spanish speakers at a local community center. This gives us the opportunity to practice our teaching skills and also to give back to the community.)
9:15 - Return from Practicum and debrief with disco group
10:00 - Homework, housekeeping, and free time
11:00 or 12:00 - Bedtime
Wow! Just looking at that schedule makes me tired. It feels like I have been here for way more than just three weeks. And yet, I have less than two weeks left.
As I am finishing up my last two weeks, please pray that I would have the strength and energy to finish well. We had this weekend off and I was able to rest and relax with my new friends at the beach. It was much needed and appreciated by all. Thank you all for your continued prayers and support.

Okay I definitely like my scedule better! That looks like an awful lot of lecture but I suppose there are little breaks in between. Where do all the scavenger hunts fit in that scedule?! Hopefully your Slovakia Scedule will be a lot better.
