Professor Janice

Today I was off to the private school Filos that is literally 5 minutes walking time from Tanjas. My new friend Zorica met me just outside the door of my home, and I told it I felt like a kid and she was walking me to school. I laughed out loud, and so did she!  I arrived before 10 and met the director and a few teachers.  This school is a three story building and houses students grades K-8.  It is filled with beautiful artwork, colors, and designs throughout the  building.  It was

just lovely.
I was invited to this school by Agatha, who is an important lady there, and one of Tanja's good friends.  I came to watch (or so I thought) the final oral exams for a group of 7th grade students.
But, as soon as I walked in the room and was introduced to the teacher, she asked me to take over!  I told her I wanted to watch her do one questioning before I started.  So she did one question, and I totally understood what she was looking for, so I jumped right in.  We (Niecy also got drafted to be a professor for the day) started with one class and then were pulled to do another class. Then they decided to split us up and we would be much more able to reach a greater number of students to test.  Overall the students were positively accepting of us, and I really had some great dialogue with these 7th graders.  So, for almost 3 hours Niecy and I were professors giving English oral exams.  When we finished, we walked back to

my house and then Niecy got picked up.  I worked a bit with my camera, and got it ready to take more pictures for my blog.  I also took a short power nap and played Words with Friends.  At around 2:30 it began to rain.. excuses me, POUR!  Add some
lightning and some thunder and you have a couple of hours with the rain pounding off of the tin roofs behind our house, and a wonderful background noise to try
and doze off to.  Tanja went shopping after school and I went out to help her with her bags.  Marko put everything away.  Then Tanja made a quick meal for us, and then I relaxed some more.  I had to get ready around 6 because Niecy, along with Ana and I were meeting up with Dobrin and his wife Tina, along with longtime friend Dejan (Dean) around 7.  We met at the gate, and walked to a wonderful restaurant called The Old House.  We had a huge (ya, ya imagine that!) meal and had some delicacies like pork knuckle!  And it was absolutely fall off the bone delicious. Went out for ice cream at The Palma after that and didn't end up getting home until around 11:30.  I jumped on the computer to work on my blog, even though I am tired, I wanted to catch up!  Well thank you Dobrin for a great evening, and dobro nok (good night)!
