General news?

Since I have nothing incredibly interesting to write about it's general news. I'm thinking maybe the posts will get a bit less frequent until I take a trip somewhere, or at least until I start my English teaching course this coming Friday.

It's already February 1st in Hobart, here it's the afternoon of January 31st but the 1st of February signifies 1 year since I passed my provisional driving licence test. That means I can now drive without the P plate in the front and rear windows, and am only limited by the speed limit of the road, not a max-speed-of-80km/h rule. And for those of you saying I can't drive anyway, I technically can because I got an international driving permit from the RACT before I left. But that just means I can by law, in reality I have no car so you're right in a way. I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't drive this whole year but maybe if a friend with a car is feeling nice... who knows!

Yesterday at work, my supervisor asked me some questions about how I'm feeling after two weeks at the kindergarten. My only real concern was that I am told I should always speak English with the kids, which I said I will do once I've taken the course and begin teaching. But for now I just want to get to know the kids, plus, my German isn't going to become fluent if I am never allowed to speak it, and I really hoped it would become fluent since I'm here for the best part of a year!

QF (abbreviation from now on for quirky fact):
Tomorrow, Camilla and I and possibly Erin are going to a vegan brunch!
(It'd be cool to leave it at that but I should explain; we were invited by a guy called Mischa who is from Russia, also living in Dresden on a gap year, who met Camilla somehow last year and now I know him too. I like the Russian German accent.)
