Mondialogo

Fridays are staff meeting days. I usually try to sit here and not look too comatose while everyone goes on and on in Bulgarian, but today there was something of interest.

Modialogo is a UNESCO funded international school competition and I think I might just take this one on. We have registered and the details are on www.mondialogo.org

I think this is something I can combine with the theatre group, and have some fun with it.

Now UNESCO is an organization I would love to work for, but I wonder if it is possible or if I have to have a Masters or PhD in world issues to be considered by them. I guess it wont hurt to try.

Before the staff meeting I had quite an easy day. My Fridays are an early finish this term as I teach 4 classes only. I am done at 11:35. I then went to lunch with Cami and then to lunch again with the English Department to discuss next term (second time I ate yogurt). Then we came back to a birthday celebration, Jenna the Biology teacher (who has a Boa constrictor as a pet) was celebrating a birthday, and that flowed into the staff meeting.

This weekend I have a couple of fun things planned. I promised the little chocolate monster Detelina that I would try my hand at chocolate cake. And I also want to bake some bagels if possible. Tsveti, the Hebrew teacher is coming to my place tomorrow morning to go "window shopping" and then in the evening we have an evening of Cuba Libres and stir fry planned. Not exactly congruent but there you have it. We will also rent a film and make good use of my DVD player.

Tonight I am making a Dahl Curry (hopefully not a dull curry) and B&D are coming to chow down and watch "Girl with a pearl earring" with me. I think Brent might sit out that one.

All this combined with my hunt for a dry-cleaners, Oscar walks, and listening to more REM should make for a fun enough weekend. I have to read up on Mondialogo and apply to UNESCO for work.

Allison, I hope to chat with you this weekend too.
