Today was the day I've been waiting for. We finally received our assignments...and I got geography! I can't wait to see what I will get to help with. So far my graduate classes are Monday-Wednesday and the class I help teach is on Thursday, but we have to test into a grammar class as well, so we'll see where that goes. Our director also finally sent us a tentative calendar, and man, we will be so busy through October! The day we get there (the 29th) we have to find our way to the directors house for dinner, and the next day is orientation and a graduates meeting followed by a tour of the city. Then the 1st and/or 2nd I have plans with one of the other students to go to Oktoberfest in Munich! Our classes begin the third, and the first geography excursion is the 7th. I hope I get to help :) We also get to travel to Vienna the 21st to the 23rd. So much excitement!
On that note, it is going to be really hard to leave. Today we found out my aunt passed away. I really want to be there for my mom at the funeral, but they are planning it for after I leave, and it would be too expensive and complicated to change flights now. I just hope everyone will be ok, and my love goes out to my family, especially my uncle and cousin. This was one of my biggest fears of leaving for so long...losing a family member. Not exactly the way I wanted to leave, but I am glad I can at least be here this week for my mom.
I went out and bought last minute books today. One is for grammar practice (surprise surprise), and the other is a cute little journal book. I'll probably post pictures of it later. Anyways, its time to run out and see a couple more friends before I leave. This should be interesting.
