Exams and more ...

I can't believe it's over a month since Christmas, but on the other hand it seems like it never happened! It certainly wasn't the best Christmas we've ever had, but enough said! Our "weans" are now in exam session - Johanna is struggling a little with exams all in Romanian but hoping that the professors will forgive her grammatical errors! Kenny is finding some of his subjects difficult - especially Maths which he didn't have for Bacalaureat as he was planning a career in sport. He also finds Law and Micro-economics challenging to say the least. Amy has had to take up two new languages at her new school - instead of French she is doing German and she also has to take Latin as she is in a Philology class. The class have already done two years of Latin and German so she is very behind and trying hard to catch up.

Kenneth and I are very tired and struggling to keep going at anything like our normal pace! Rosie has been leading us a merry dance with school work (or lack of) and she can be quite hard work at times. Although our upstairs apartment is still not completed it's very nice and since moving up in July it has made a huge difference to our lives and given us some much needed privacy. The downstairs hasn't been properly tidied after all last Summer and Autumn's teams, but we've been too busy and too tired. My mum finally moved into her new apartment and loves it, so she's generally feeling much happier and more settled. Amy will be 18 on 15th February and is keen to have a "Majorat" party like all her friends - she's never had a birthday party in her life so we want to make sure it's special.
