Things at home are great. My host parents, Natasha and Vasile are very nice. Since I have my own ‘casa mica’ (like a apartment on their property) I have tons of privacy and space.

- greater likelihood of having paved roads
- less likelihood of having to avoid cow dung on said roads
- less likely to be stopped in traffic as the cows or geese cross the road (really, it shouldn’t be “why did the chicken cross the road” it should be geese…they do this a lot here)

no longer needed to go to school. I kept
asking my partner when I was going to be informed about my classes so I could
prepare and do the boring paperwork that PC demands that we do. She kept telling me, we’ll figure it out next
time, tomorrow perhaps. Everyday she
would say this. So, on the Thursday
before school started, I was finally told which classes I would be
teaching. ... (more)
