more SLAP

3 days to go. German is stupid and has long words like aneinanderreihen instead of just link.

Went to Kitzbuhel (spelling?) yesterday to see the world Super G race which was really exciting. There were 3 skiiers from Tremblant :)

We have our practical teaching exam tomorrow and I'm slightly shitting myself. We have to lead the group by teaching a given skill in German for 10 minutes.

Got our Uni offers the other day: I got into Med at UNSW and Tom got into Arts/Engineering at UNSW :)

We've both been offered jobs at a ski school in Kaprun (also dont know how to spell and guessing) with another guy from SLAP (colin, from london) so provided we pass all 3 sections of our exam (written, skiing, and teaching) we're off to live in another town until the end of the season!
N.B. to people sending mail (ie. mum) please stop sending it to the Alphof cause we leave here on Thursday.

I just failed my third practice written exam so I should probably go learn some more.
Much love from Austria

Hi Amanda, and Tom,
Thanks for the update. Congrats on university offers, and on the ski job offer. Good luck with the written German exam Amanda. Glad it's not me!
The practical teaching exam sounds quite scary too.
Will go to look up Kaprun on my map Hope you will like it there as much as Alpbach
Lots of love
MOM XOXOXO.
