Having classes change? Moved? Rescheduled? Canceled? Without being notified? Sounds like Moldova. (What do you mean we don't have class tomorrow, I thought vacation starts Monday, not Friday! How come no one told me before 10 pm when I've been spending all afternoon planning tomorrow's lessons that the mayor decided to declare a day off?!?!?)
In Moldova, we also had no erasers; we had nasty rags and buckets of dirty water. Luckily, the "elev de serviciu" (student on duty) was responsible for cleaning the board. They do that even in the university when they become teh "student de serviciu."
I also spoke/speak WAAAAAAAAAAY too quickly...you'll learn quickly enough to read the students' faces that say "WTF are you saying? I don't understand one word!" At first, I totally felt like "what qualifies me to be teaching in an actual school to actual children as part of their actual education?" Teaching in a classroom situation like that is something that you'll feel completely incompetent for about 3 months, then all of a sudden feel like you can do it. Eventually, you'll feel like you can even do it WELL!
I don't know how to say "Good luck" in Latin, but Romanian is the closest living language to it (complete with 5 cases, woo hoo! cases!) so: toate cele bune, succes si noroc!
I understand completely
