Yizzoooo Kizzoooooo!

Hello Everyone!

Coco comin' in, do you read me? Yes you do. Good. Soooo...last time I wrote I think I told you all that I got a job at a preschool. The rest was rubbish I'm sure. New news...some of you might already know, and if you don't know now you know. Morgen left two Thursdays ago to return home to Yakima. Good thing she did, because she found out that her foot had been fractured!!! Yeah unbelievable! It was about two months ago, that she accidentally rammed her foot into a suitcase (that I accidentally put in the way, sorry Momo) and had been limping around on it for TWO MONTHS!!! Now she has a boot, I'm guessing a really HUGE boot, that is most likely embarassing and for that I am sorry as well. Her choice to leave was purely hers, she felt it was time, and that is okay. I miss her so much and the flat is so quiet without my roomie. Momo if you're reading this I miss your face! Good news though on the roomie front. Travis, a 32 year old from Australia is moving in on Sunday. He's a nice bloke so far, and an English teacher as well. And then of course there is the accent. Won't be hard to live with that. :D

I'm loving my job, I love the children, they are SO smart. The first week was overwhelming only because well..I hadn't actually worked in 2 and 1/2 months. The commute is sometimes rough, and I have been late a few times since I can't seem to get the bus schedule just right (Lisa...they are just as forgiving as you were for my lateness, I don't even get the sideways looks that you gave!!!). The children are just now beginning to understand that I'm also in charge as well as the other teachers. They all call me Coco, even the adults, because the 'rt' is very hard to pronounce for Czech speakers. If they do attempt to say my name it's more like 'currrtney' with a rolled R, where as when Spanish people tried it was 'corny'. Right Elisabeth? :) Coco is just easier.

What else...what else....Hmm. I've been incredibly bored since Mo left. I do have a few friends here, but not ones that have a lot of free time, and neither do I. So, I went out and bought myself a puzzle. That's right, 1,000 pieces. Puzzle queen, right here. Mm hmm. No sign of any love interest on the horizon. I need more friends first, THEEEEEN...maaaaybe just maaaaaybe try to meet someone to cure my love ills.

I think that's all for now. Now I must create insects out of construction paper. Ladybugs and bumblebees for the children to count. It's raining here and has been for it seems two weeks. No summer weather yet, for that I do miss Yakima.

Love you all, and hope to talk soon. Don't forget I have an email addresssss!! courtney_myoho@yahoo.com yay!
