The most recent and exciting development in my life here in Lux is that I have officially started substitute teaching at the International School of Luxembourg. I began last week and so far have acted as a fourth grade teacher, elementary art teacher, highschool theatre teacher, and librarian...everyday is so exciting! But I really do like it, the teachers at the school are really nice and the school iteself is amazing, such a nice facility! It is great experience to put on my resume and it gives me something to do during the day besides sit at home watching extreme home makeover marathons for hours.
Besides that I have also gotten pretty involved at the church that I have been going to since I got here. I have volunteered with the youth group a few times and I am going with them this saturday to some indoor trampoline park in Germany, so that should be insanely fun, defintely a chance to get in touch with my inner child (because I dont do that enough). I also joined the worship team and have been singing in church for the past few weeks which is a lot of fun as well. I have met a ton of people through church and it feels great to be a part of a community here and especially one that is so warm and welcoming!
I am also getting very excited for Thanksgiving. Although I am very saddened to not be at home with family for our usual Easter Egg fight (dont ask) I will be having a traditional thanksgiving dinner with the family (no doubt they will feed me well) and I have also been invited to two other thanksgiving celebrations with American friends here so I am sure I will be having my fill of turkey! Okay, well I have a class of third graders coming in soon who will be needing to hear a story and I think I am just the person for the job!
