Call me Teacher Kat

So my aupair contract is coming to a close, and I am going to Rome next *btw anyone in Rome TELL ME I need english speakers and kpop fans like seriously) and I will, once more, look after a couple of kiddos.

but I am starting my TEFL course in the last week of September or before, depending on when I will have cash for it. (for those who don't know, it is Teaching English As A Foreign Language)...Sooo yes, I am gonna be a teacher! Had I already found a course before I would now have a job down in Calabria (well, down-er because I am here. LOL)

So me and the mom of the kids I look after were speaking and I joked that I want to ride a motor one day, and she is like 'no, you don't pay attention ever' because ONE day I did not see a car arrive and could have gotten hurt - but did not. I usually look out more for the kids when they are there, or when we are alone, if she is there, my guard is down-er (at this point I work basically all day but it's vacation so yeah). And honestly I DO get aloof sometimes but not always, mainly when I am very tired... but really I just don't have eyes on my back! But the problem is really the fact that she is so easily insulting me (I am disorganized, which is true in MY room, they wanted a person who lives with them but never leaves anything in the house and has a room free of ANY clothes on the floor etc... I don't think it is quite possible when you pay so little AND she works two jobs to support her ..) but the house WAS messy to start with. SO I am like, do you want me to clean up your crap even if it is not in the contract? And we are still friends and all but I am afraid for the new girl that arrives.. And me in Rome lol (tbh they are nice people just don't really know what they need and want and I don't want to be the one to explain that 4 kids + housework for a small amount of money only brings in people like me who have other jobs and won't have time to always polish the house in their freetime.

but then again after the school I will start teaching..

 

 

as I said I am afraid for myself.

So, complaining aside I am a little sad that this part of my life is over and that I leaving Calabria but also relieved to go to a place with internet again.

LOL priorities, There is net but very shabby, poor thing. So writing has been slow, too (because it is a good excuse to tell the clients and because I work a lot, lol) but the place is nice enough, the sea clear and salty and the castle cute, so ;D that is good.

now it is time to go to Rome and start getting my life in order. I was a lot more together before I started working as a freelancer but 70 euros a week won't get me anywhere so... yeah gotta get it together WHILE writing somehow. Step 1, finish the story I am working on Step 2. wait 5 hours for it to upload

 

Well rant is over lolz what are you all spending your vacations with?
