I've been away from LJ for a while. First I went to London for Sectus, which was great fun. I met so many nice people there and I want to thank everyone that made it such a wonderful experience and a memory for life ( Read more... )

It's two weeks until I go to London for Sectus and I've started to really look forward to it. Today I changed the hotel I'm going to stay in from the Prince William in Bayswater to the Byron in the same area. I checked reviews of the Prince William and they were really bad. Many reviewers claimed there were bedbugs and other interesting animals in ( Read more... )

It's Canada Day today and I would like to celebrate the nicest country I've ever visited (after Sweden). I would very much like to see more of Canada, maybe next Summer ( Read more... )

I'm celebrating my steady job and the fact that I soon will have a long holiday with a new userpic. This is from a painting by Michiel Sweerts, a Flemish painter from the Baroque era of the 17th century. A few days ago I saw a Dutch documentary about the people that work at the Eremitage in St Petersburg, where you can find the original painting. ( Read more... )

Finally, I've got a steady job! No more worries every spring if I have job for the autumn term. No more job applications that come to nothing. I can finally settle in permanently in my flat (and maybe start cleaning it).

It's such a relief. I'm so happy that things turned out allright.

I'm a little upset at the moment because I've just seen the last episode of Six Feet Under on television. I've loved that series so much! I must buy all seasons on DVD and experience it again. No other series has had that effect on me the last fifteen years ( Read more... )

Well, a week has gone and I still don't know if I have a job in August or not. I asked my boss on Friday and he said that they will know next week. You can't accuse them of being fast in their decision making. I don't know what the outcome will be.

I went to that interview on Wednesday and I either scared them off completely or made a great success ( Read more... )

I'm really scared about tomorrow. I have to go to my boss and ask him if there is a job for me in the autumn. I'm terrified that he will say no. Maybe I should have tried to ask him on Friday, but I just wanted to go home then.

I got a call from another school here in this town and the headmaster asked me to come and talk to them on Wednesday. That ( Read more... )

I'm starting to feel a little bit better after the dreadful day yesterday. This morning was bad but I survived that somehow. I tried to avoid talking to people about next semester, but the subject came up anyway. It seems people feel bad for me and that they think the headmasters have behaved in an appalling way. Several people suggested that I go ( Read more... )

Things look bad as far as my job is concerned. It seems I'm the last on the list to get any courses for next semester. The head-teachers have still not talked to me! I thought the school was run by competent people but I'm reconsidering that.

I don't know what to do really. I don't want to move. I only moved to this flat six months ago and I'm ( Read more... )
