Well it looks like I might go from no job to two offers in a week. I guess that is how it goes. Problem is I quite like the look of both of them. Hmmmm. Any ideas people? One is with a medium to large company, that has offices across South America. They work to a pretty standard set of material, and it wouldn't be a particularly personal experience. They do offer two free weeks of spanish lessons, and are putting me through a fairly useful in-house training week at the moment. Doesn't look like there would be that much room for individual creativity though, which means less work, but means it is less interesting.

The other school is small and more community oriented. The teachers are expected to take part in training sessions and general group activities from time to time (which would absolutely suit me). They have been really helpful so far, copying a grammar text for me, and generally giving me plenty of advice. The courses are less rigidly structured, which means they are more interesting but take more planning, thought and general energy. However, the curriculum supervisor seems really nice and approachable. Also the director is young and really nice, and lives around the corner from where I am staying and has three dogs! And although I am not sure how that influences my decision, I am pretty sure it adds to the favourable list. Anyone who has three dogs can't be bad I reckon! So far I have changed my mind every half hour for the last two days.

Of course I haven't actually been offered either job so perhaps I shouldn't count my chickens!! It is only that every other indication has been positive. I should know by the end of the week anyway I guess.

And in other news? No that is about it. I taught my second demo class today, for the second school, and the superviser had nothing bad to say about it. She seemed very enthusiastic, and my student seemed to get the idea pretty well and have fun while doing it. I still need to talk less, but it is so ingrained into my personality (talking that is) that I am not sure how I am going to learn to shut up?!

Can't wait to get a job so that I can go shopping and get some new clothes! I have put myself on strict instructions that there is to be no shopping until I have a job. And I will be able to start looking for a house too once I have a contract. It is the lack of security that is getting to me at the moment. Anyway, should know really soon.

Will keep you all posted, and if anyone has any opinions on where I should work, please enlighten me. And before you ask, the money is about the same at both places.

Hasta luego,
KiwiKaz.
