Yesterday I went for my first day of my lessons. Turned out it was just meant to be a quick meeting to sign the contracts for the course. There was only about six of us all together, not counting the husbands who tagged along. Silly me of course, I was like a 5 year old with her daddy. “No Xander you can’t come! It’s my first day I’ll look like an idiot!”. Then I was the only one there without their hubby/boyfriend. I understood a fair bit of what they said though so it was alright. I don’t have to go back until Tuesday. There will be 3 days of introduction, a week off for their fall vacation, and then another 3 days. After that I think they said I have to wait for a letter telling me where I go for my proper lessons.There was one girl there that I met that seemed pretty cool. Her name is Mania and she’s from St. Martin and has been living here for a year. She’s 19 and has a 1.5 year old little boy. Unfortunately I’m not sure if she’ll be back on Tuesday because she isn’t sure she can get someone to watch her little boy while she’s in class. Shame too because she’s really nice and speaks English. Hopefully she’ll be there on Tuesday.
The guy from the Postbank has been negotiating for us in the deal to buy this place. He seems to be doing pretty well and I think we’ll get it for a little less than they are asking. I am really looking forward to fixing the place up. I’ve already picked out the kind of shower I want to put in, getting it in there will be another story! We have some reading up to do, or need to start asking around and find out if any of our friends know how.
I’m going to start redoing the website over the next few days. Giving it the new look I’ve picked out for it. So if you see the site over the next few days and it looks weird, that’s why. I’ll prob screw up a few things in the process of the update.
Today I learned how to burn a CD for the first time ever. Dunno how I went this long without knowing.
