The best moment of my day
Right, I only work 12 hours a week, but I also prepare for these classes, and each class is at least 30 minutes, most are an hour of prep. Ok, also I can use some lessons more than once, which is also really nice, because the lessons then get better and better. But looking at my work again, when was the last time I really worked all 12 hours? I can't actually remember, because either there was Math Olympics, where I didn't need to work because the school was being used for that, or I was gone at something else, or the teachers are sick. Here in Germany, especially in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, they don't have enough money to hire substitute teachers. When a teacher gets sick, then they either try to find a teacher who teaches the same subject and has that period free, change the hours around, so if the Math teacher has the period where the class would normally have English free, then they will switch is around like that, or they will just cancel the class. So one of my classes was canceled today, and one is canceled tomorrow.
Now, this was the not the best part of my day. The best part of my day was when I was grocery shopping. After hearing the words grilled cheese, that is what I decided to have for lunch. While I was in the super market, I was looking through the refrigerated section, sometimes they have single servings for some food, and I found Maultaschen! It was the cheap 1euro price is always is, and it will be delicious tomorrow for lunch. This is something that I ate all the time in Tübingen, and was sad to not find it, because it is really easy to prepare and also very tasty. Maultaschen is pasta squares filled with beef and spinach. Apparently it was made my monks during Lent, so they could hide the meat in the pasta, that way, God couldn't find it.

At first I thought you were going to say that you found cheddar cheese because you were talking about grilled cheese, but Maultaschen in Meck-Pomm is great too! Did you end up going to that mensa party? Hey, and you still need to give me your address or it's no Christmas card for you honey:)
