on overwhelm, what else

One of my numerous former bosses called me the other day

and offered me a job

namely to teach Hungarian 

to two Nigerian seminarists

I told him that I am off till the middle of November

but eventually said yes to starting then

and now my head is boiling :-D

because as much as liked teaching Hungarian, I was never good at it

and this seems like a case with high stakes

also, two to three hours a day(!)

also, two people (though that makes it somehow rather less scary)

also, I haven’t told my current boss yet...

So now my mind at any given moment

is occupied with one or more of these:

- translation

- window-replacement and the very bad mess it will cause

- window-replacement and the very good order I should set up beforehand

(incl. removing the bathroom mirror and such...)

- teaching Hungarian to a couple of Nigeraian seminarists

(incl. questions mostly on methodology & 

how to tolerate the stress of not being understood – in any way other than starting to speak in English)

- how it will interfere with my other job

- whether and if so: when will I ever see friends again

- whether I can get out somewhere while the lovely weather lasts

- whether hard mental work justifies buying (and eating) chocolate
