καλωσόρισμα

I'm a little shocked today. I don't know how I let this happen. Shame on me! Anyway, besides the awkward part and my torticollis, it's been a really good day! I just noticed that I'm going to spend my birthday on a Temple trip with all my lovely young women. Can it be better? I don't think so.

I had a nice morning with my new calling in the church: nursery leader. It was tough at first, but I have to admit that I love it. The kids are so cute when they try to say my name, and I just want to squeeze their chubby cheeks. I feel so pumped! And I also have the best of times with the young ladies. It's awesome how things have changed for better. I feel loved and blessed, and even though I don't really know what to do with my life nowadays, I am sure I will find the way I have to follow. Maybe I should spend my life learning languages, it's the funniest thing I have ever done. I enjoy it, it's easy for me, and I don't feel like i'm wasting my time. It's weird to say that it's the only thing that cheers me up during school time, isn't it? But that's it, i'm a languageholic.

I decided to keep private my blog because lately I've been feeling a little exposed. I don't know if i will ever make it public again. Who knows? And who cares?

Since tonight had been a really emotive night I have to say that i feel a little embarrased for many things. First one: When I knew that some of my old classmates were getting married, I started to feel old and also my  looking for a husband mode started. But you know what? I not even 20 years old. I'm young, free, wild, beautiful and careless. Girls just wanna have fun. (But despite of these thoughts, I know that I love him and I can't help it. This just friends mode sucks). Furthermore, that is not the only thing i'm embarrased of... I hate the way that I teach. It doesn't matter how long I've been preparing it, the moment I stand up to go on stage, I forget every single word. Luckily I don't faint quite much and I also haven't forgotten how to walk yet.

I've been advised to be careful this week. Let's see what happens, i'm expecting it. Have this been the calm before storm maybe? On the other hand, I really really hope to get my calling as a an EFY conselour in Germany. That would be cool, neat, fantastic, terrific, ridiculous, amazing, awesome, brilliant. I'm so looking forward to it. 

I can't believe it's been a year since Santorini. So much has changed. I'd love to be there again, and I will someday. That island is a piece of heaven. Best trip of my life.

Irene.
