They say: Time flies when you are having fun. Well, I am not entirely sure if I have been having fun or not. But, time has sure flown. The milestone has passed; we have finished our first complete school year here in Bitburg. (I still have a month, almost, to go before my own vacation, but the kids and teachers are done as of Friday.)
It felt much shorter than our year in Casablanca, in fact, it is funny to think that we have been living here in Germany for now the same amount of time we lived in Morocco.
I'm working the same hours, and with the same intensity, with a steep "first year" learning curve. I am surrounded, as I was in Casablanca, by wonderful colleagues.
But, somehow, things are different. I know my family is happier here. I'm enjoying the bratwurst. And the Bitburger. The kids at school are super, on the whole.
Maybe I am having fun.
