Greetings from stormy Estonia

I haven't written for a long time because it was the end of the second term at school and I was awfully busy. I've probably mentioned this before -- this year I'm the class teacher of a group of 12th-graders and every December the seniors have to organize the Christmas prom.

 The school auditorium two hours before the prom started. 

We decided to make teachers dance with their students just like in the reality show called Dancing with the Stars. So I practiced jive with one of my students for almost a month and I think we did pretty well :)

 Seniors singing... Whenever they sing somewhere together I can't help thinking about their graduation. This will be really tough cause they've been my students for almost 7 years and they are definitely one of the main reasons why I decided to keep working as a teacher.

 Me receiving my present at school on Dec 22nd. In Estonia you have to sing or dance or read a poem to get your present.

Before Christmas I went to church twice cause they had Christmas concerts there and some of my students also sang.

We spent Christmas at my parents' place. Here's me desperately trying to invent a poem in front of Santa on Christmas Eve :D By the way, Red Hot Chili Peppers is going to give a concert in Tallinn in July and I got the ticket :)

There are many other things that have happened. The worst thing is that my brother managed to break my laptop. I took it to an IT specialist today and they said there's a problem with the hard disk. I'm keeping my fingers crossed here and hope they'll manage to recover the files I had there.

 Sunrise we had a week ago

Have to go now, Karel is pretening to be Santa here and I'll have to read a poem to get my present :D Hope you all had peaceful Christmas. I miss you...
