The calm after the storm!

So it would seem that things just seem to be getting better and better for me at the moment. Last time I updated all of you fine people in the Northern Hemisphere I was working 3 jobs, all of which were good, but it was pretty mental and meant that I literally did nothing but work, eat and sleep. Since then I was offered a full-time teaching position at the school which meant that I could quit at the sandwich bar and officially call myself a teacher! This now means that I work Monday to Friday from 9 until 3.30 and then I work at the hostel in the evenings. I am really loving my job at the school, it's going really well, and the free time I have now means that I'm not so tired all the time and I can actually enjoy myself a bit more during the week and have a little more of a social life! In theory quitting at the sandwich bar would have meant that I had weekends off but I decided to take on a private English student as well to see what that would be like. He is a Persian-Italian guy called Oswald who has come here to study but doesn't speak good enough English to go to college. I was pretty nervous about doing this because it is totally different from teaching in a classroom and requires a completely different set of teaching skills, but it is going really well and I am enjoying it a lot, and he seems to be learning a lot which I guess is the most important part. Right now I don't really feel like much of a teacher because we just seem to hang out together so he can build his confidence using English so we go out for coffee and for lunch and go to the cinema...basically I am being paid to be someone's friend, it works for me!
Other than the continued positive progress on the job front I have very little of interest to report this time I am afraid because I am trying to work as hard as I can while I am here because the school is really good and I think that I could learn a lot about my job while I am working there! This is probably not good news for those of you who are expecting to me come back to England for a more permanent length of time in the near future because the better I get at my job the more places will want to employ me and the more travelling I can do!! I will come back...eventually...I promise!

Massive love to you all!!!!
