We have been slowly adjusting to the life here. We are not used to using crowded public transportation (mostly buses), so that is something to keep adjusting to. We went to a big mall/supermarket that looked similar to malls in US. Their food section still did not include some things that we have been looking for, so we will keep on looking.
We will be going to visit my family again in a week and a half for a long weekend. I am greatly looking forward to seeing my family again, and we will also visit my paternal grandmother in the village I spent all my summers. I have not had a chance to see her yet since we arrived here.
Professionally, in addition to teaching History of Psychology to third-year students of Social Pedagogy department, I am helping develop a two-year School of Psychological Consulting from Cognitive-Behavioral perspective. Here is a link to the website, which includes pictures of all staff, including me http://cbt.ucu.edu.ua/category/staff/ We will be recruiting students for the program this month, and the program will start next month.
I always enjoy hearing from all my friends and host families back in US! So, keep writing me :)
Hi! Sure sounds as if you are really busy and enjoying the time at the University! Seems they are getting a lot of information from you and that is awesome! What a gift to be able to help begin the program there! I know it will be wonderful to see your family again! Is it a special holiday weekend or just routine!?
