We didn't have a lot of time to get back to a normal routine after the holidays; one day we were having turkey and stuffing, the next day lunchtime we were stumbling off our trans-Atlantic flight with little sleep, Orest bound for the office and me and girls home to unpack. Upon arrival, we discovered some good news in the form of a letter from one of the schools that Larysa had sat an entrance exam for. She had passed through to the next stage, obtaining a perfect score. Wow, it made the extra Christmas gift of an MP3 player for all the hard work she'd done even more justifiable. The bad news was however, that she'd have to add the callback exam to her list of other exams in the coming week. (Thursday, Friday and now Saturday we booked with exams.)
This was all complicated by the fact that I was starting a Mandarin Chinese language course on Wednesday evening (more about that later), and that we had booked tickets to see Cirque de Soleil for Thursday (more about that too).
It is now Saturday evening, and we have safely negotiated through this challenging week of jet lag, little sleep, entrance exams and various evening engagements. We've taken the evening off and are mooching around the house for the night until we can go to bed.
