Things have been hectic... Work is crazy right now and I'm also still doing my TEFL course. I'm well past the half way point now, so it's going well, but it's hard sometimes to find the energy to do it. It's not that difficult, but I want to do it well, so I need to really sit down and focus for a few hours to get it done, and that's hard when you're already tired from working all day!
Summer is supposed to be a quiet period at work, but because so many have been forced to leave because of the budget cuts we now need to do the same amount of work with about half of the people, and then Summer is suddenly not so quiet anymore. It's a little frustrating, especially as pretty much everyone is now stressed out and in a bad mood about it, which doesn't really help the general mood in the office. But, within a few weeks all the new students will have arrived, and then hopefully things will quiet down for a bit.
Anyway. It's weekend now, so I shouldn't really be talking about work. :D We have a guest cat at the moment, which has been quite fun. Our friends Arjen and Eleanora have a one year old cat, Puma, who is staying with us now for a few weeks while they're on holiday. She's about half the size of Wodan & Kissa, but neither of them really seem to realize that. Puma keeps running up to Wodan and Kissa without fear, trying to chase them away, and Wodan and Kissa keep freezing up in terror everytime she does that, resulting in a staring contest. It's quite entertaining. It's nice having a younger, more playful cat in the house! Wodan and Kissa aren't all that old (they'll be 4 soon), but they're lazy little monsters, so it might be good to have Puma running around the house for a few weeks to shake things up.
