Two Days and Counting

So I have created this for those of you who do not have facebook. I figured what was a better way to see what is going on then for me to create a blog. I will make sure that I can get my pictures and my thought and adventures on this blog through out the weeks. So I will get started now.

I am two days and counting now, with mixed emotions all the way. This all started back in March when I was looking for teaching jobs. I had been searching long and hard with about 250 applications out in the United States. This took me to the Illinois teacher website to keep search where I came upon Teach Away. I applied and stress and still applied for other jobs. Well though and behold that after interviewing with Teach Away and three other school I was offered a position. When I first receive the position I was excited and ready to explore this new opportunity. However through the summer and the process of everything that, I have received a lot of negative comments and thoughts from people. I didn't let this shake me and I kept going.

As of the beginning of August I was stressing about get this going. I finally received my date that I was leaving on August 20th about a week ago. I have been taking the time I have to see friends and family before I head to the sandbox across the sea. I am more excited after getting more updates from the friends I have made that are already over there. I am nervously awaiting the fourteen hour plane ride (the part which scares me most). I am more then ready to get started on this new adventure, however I still am going to miss the family and friends I leave behind. I will keep everyone update as the time moves on.
