FOR WHAT IS WORTH
[EDIT 14th August]I’ve opened a new site (in Spanish). It’s plenty of Olympic spirit =).[/EDIT]
Hi,
So, I’ll tell you all what’s going on with me ;):
I’ve been offered my dreamjob: being a teacher of Spanish as a foreign language in Poland, at the academy one of my dearest friends owns there. I know I won’t become rich, mainly because I don’t have any previous experience and all that and, well, no offense intended, but it’s Poland, and there salaries are not too high actually… But working for my friend will be a real pleasure, I will be able to add 4 more phrases in Polish to the 4 I already know :mrgreen:, I will have the chance to visit Germany properly 
and at least one of the other 6 countries Poland have boundaries with. Besides, I will get experience in order to achieve one of my other 10 dreamjobs (having loads of illusions gives you more possibilities of achieving at least one: pure statistics :P): being a teacher for the Instituto Cervantes :).
Problems: 1.)Bureaucracy (both Spain and Poland are members of the European Union, it should be easier to arrange everything!!!!)
2.)MY BL*$%&%$$DY THESIS! Actually it is finished, but I have to defend it and all that, and until the whole process it is over I won’t be able to call my life a life :dead:.
If I cannot solve the bureaucracy from Spain, I will go and try to sort things out “in situ”, and even if I can’t, at least I could do some tourism and visit some friends. I deserve some vacation (I guess :geeked:).
Anyway I’m prepared for disillusion, and what is more: I’m vaccinated. But I hope that statistics will make some of my illusions come true, just for mercy or something :violin:.
Well, that’s all so far. I’ll tell you more as soon as I know something more. There’s other stuff going on this summer too, but telling everything about my life would be pretty boring for everyone.
Hope you are all enjoying yourself a lot these days! (It’s raining here 
but we’re used to it, just a bit fed up, but used to it).
Hasta pronto 
Hola, me llamo Cristina MJ, pero en este mundo paralelo me dicen 
Hello, my name is Cristina MJ, but I'm also known as 
Wow, Calítoe, that sounds like a great opportunity! Congratulations! I thought Germany was the only country governed by bureaucrats, sorry to hear about that hassle!
At least you will be paid! Some weeks ago I searched for a job teaching German in Central America (and learning Spanish at the same time), but they wanted money instead of giving me some!
Yeah, anyway, I think you will enjoy this task big time!!
How long will you be staying abroad?
that sounds awesome! i’m sure that you’ll have a GREAT time!
–*wishes luck!*
Frauke, haven’t you heard about Spanish bureaucracy?
We are famous for that since the Roman Empire! 
I think the main problems with me staying there is that Polish had such a light bureaucracy that they wanted to become “fully European” just at once 
(just my impression). If I am finally staying it’ll be for the whole Academic year.
And… Haven’t you tried to teach German to Spanish students there? I’m sure there are a lot in Germany, more than German students in Central America, I reckon.
Thanks a lot Eileeen!
Fantastico!!!! Sono felicissima per te e spero che tutto vada per il meglio!!! Peccato soltanto che la Polonia non sia molto vicina all’Italia
Comunque anche a Trieste c’è una sede dell’istituto Cervantes, giusto per informazione 
)
La burocrazia…Non ne parliamo, l’Italia è la patria della burocrazia.
Bacioni e in bocca al lupo!!! (in Italiano si dice ‘in bocca al lupo’ perchè porta più fortuna che ‘buona fortuna’!!!!
Mmm, un’informazione interessante
A proposito, Trieste sta molto vicina alla Slovenia, no? La mia “ingquilina” Ajda vive in Slovenia. Quando vada per la zona vi visiterò alle due, se voi volete, evidentemente :tongue:. E molte grazie per il ‘in bocca al lupo’ :D.
ooh, poland..well, I hope you do have a good summer anyway! my grandmother is german, hehe..it would be nice to visit there sometime though
Fammi sapere quando passi di qui
Yep, it would =).
