Parent Teacher Meetings. . . GULP

Well, the title pretty much says it all: we're meeting parents tomorrow! And the gulp pretty much says how I feel about that. Well, maybe if I looked a day over seventeen I wouldn't be so anxious.
But no, I'm prepared. . . my nicest teacher clothes have just been laid out, and tomorrow, in anticipation, I will suit up much like ancient warriors going into battle.
I need a cool warrior name, something to do with fighting for equal rights and education. Oh, did I say cool or nerdy?

We all got teacher laptops (beyond sweet) and workrooms (with our names on the door, yeah, official) and our schedules! I really am a grown up person, Mom!

Now, I am heading to bed (cough Six Feet Under) and I am currently in a food-induced coma! One of my colleages had two of us "International Teachers" over for an amazing dinner, dessert, and movie viewing session. I must admit, going from ACTUAL furnished apartments, to what can best be described as a "shit hole" is getting harder and harder! I need to invest in some colours and non-essential living articles, but let's be honest, I'm saving the money for food.

so at 530 Swedish time tomorrow, say a little prayer that I can pull off the "cool, calm, and collected" teacher vibe!

Oh, here are a few pictures:

I already posted this on facebook, but here is my 1970's apartment. . . so messy





And here, ladies and gentlemen, is the smallest kitchen all the world over!



(look at those sweet potatoes. Not actual sweet potatoes, but you get the point.)
