Sacred Saturday...

...is no longer so this weekend. Today, I had to teach my Monday lessons this morning and even though they were only 30 minutes long and we just played Bingo and Yahtzee, I still had to endure their strings of obscenities in Hungarian, attempts to hide earbuds blasting music, and their inability to understand that if they lowered their voices about six decibels, I would still be able to hear them perfectly fine.

Some of my students did not understand why they were in school on a Saturday. Now, if I had to go to school on my calendar reserved day off, then I'd be asking some questions. By working on Saturday, we can have a four day weekend the following weekend as the next Tuesday is May Day, the 1st of May and a holiday. So instead of working that Monday, we had our Monday lessons today.

And as I have every other Friday off, I get a five day weekend, almost another spring holiday. I'm going to take advantage of the nice weather and head to Slovenia.

As for now, I'm off to enjoy the remainder of my "weekend."

if you end up in Slovenia I would recommend going to Piran and adorable and almost Italian-esque town on the coast. A few of us went over Christmas and that was our favourite city.
