Ozana is one of the kids who started from the very beginning of the program back in 2006 when she was still in high school. Now she’s writing us weekly “thank you” notes or little stories from her daily life.  Teach you how to stunt has proven, once again, to be an inspiration for young individuals.

My beloved teachers,

I have been studying German lately as an addition to the English courses I’m currently enrolled in. It is challenging indeed, but I praise myself for leaving no stone unturned. I have organized my day in a sequence of learning sessions, starting as early as 5 o’clock some days. It has been proven that an action turns to habit if repeated 66 days in a row. The calendar on my wall informs me I’m currently at day 3 and I can say this experiment I’m conducting it’s everything except nice. 

Firstly, why on planet Earth would someone wake up at such an early hour? The subways barely work at 5, how am I supposed to do that ? The phone starts screaming like a maniac at 05:00, strategically positioned 4 meters away from the bed, waiting for me to move my ass to snooze it. Oh I do, I snooze the shit out of it until a more decent hour (normally 06:30).

Secondly, from the moment I’m supposed to wake up until I get to work it’s already a difference of 4 to 5 hours. Which means I’m hungry (again) and can barely keep my eyelids open at 09:30. Thanks to the holy mother of the baby Joseph for coffee and ghetto music. 

I know Andaluzia has told you about our trip to Sofia this weekend, I’m pretty excited myself. Road trips are always a source of inspiration. And disease, but I’m trying to keep a positive note here. The Berlitz pocket phrase book that’s helping me on my foreign studies is always in my bag, not pocket. Yesterday I realized, while shopping for groceries, that I was speaking loudly in Lidl, in German nonetheless. Die katze, schmetterling, flughafen, apfelkuchen, schuh. I think listening to some german rap music will do wonders, I’ll check with youtube. 

Hope you are all ok and the program is still helping students improve their English, it has been wonderful for me so far. Teach you how to stunt has taught me not to think of Shakespeare as an arrogant ass anymore, million thanks for that. 

Hugs and kisses,
Ing. Ozana.
