oooh we're halfway there

I cannot believe that I am already halfway done with the TEFL class! Although I feel like I have been in Prague for 3 years, it has only been about 15 days.

A majority of my time is spent at school either in class, prepping for lessons, or using the internet. On top of our bi-weekly lessons we have to plan, we also have a one-on-one tutoring project (15 page paper due next Monday?!), a grammar presentation to plan, continuous job searching and housing to worry about. It is extremely busy but very rewarding.

I am in the process of looking and applying for jobs in France as well as in Prague. It is going to be difficult to find a job in France because they prefer EU citizens (which means no work visa paperwork to complete for the employer) but I am still trying. There are numerous jobs available in Prague, and most of my new friends are going to stick around here for the next year.

We will see what happens! I am using every contact and resource possible so keep sending good vibes my way :)

  1. Natalie, good luck with the job hunt. Have you considered contacting American companies in France? They could use people who can speak both languages. Caterpillar comes to mind. They have a facility in Grenoble.
