whatz happening

itz been a rough tough time in berlin since the beginning of the new year. i like to call my life one big 'whirl' since it seems to keep on twirling swirling along... :-) i know that i do my best to keep it there, though... besides teaching, preparing lessons, meetings with parents and such, i like to attend some of these further training sessions that various institutes offer here. i don't want to miss all these opportunities you have in this big city!
i reduced the amount of my runs :-) and run more often to the dance floor during the week - my time to breath and sweat out some of the stress that we face every day... i started pointe lessons again, how i love it :-) i'm proud to have this well-known teacher who used to dance internationally and on big stages in berlin! she's great!
they gave me a permanent contract the other day. yay!! :) this happened quite unexpectedly without any meetings or discussions before. what this means is that i'm gonna stay in berlin for at least another one and a half years. teaching those kids of east-berlin with great potential...! looking 4ward to it- and then we'll see what happens next! already got some exciting ideas but nothing has been clarified nor decided yet :-) life is a whirl. a never-ending storm with some still moments in between :-)
it was an awesome time i could spend with my friend debi from switzerland a couple of weekends ago. we had a good time with sweet memories, here's a pic of the 2 of us-
