a few tears and lots of airports
Or maybe that was lots of tears and a a few airports. Today begins the first day of this scary, unfamiliar, out of this world journey. I must admit I am quite technologically challenged, hopefully this blog will be user friendly.It's unreal to me how quickly this summer went by. I began the summer worrying about saving money and buying a plane ticket, then I moved on to the tedious task of getting paperwork together for a visa, and then actually waiting on the arrival of the visa. Before I knew it September was here and all I had left to worry over was nothing and everything. I went to Ohio to visit my family and was able to temporarily hide from the anxiety but the last few days it managed to find me. What will my class be like? How much English will they already know? Will the students like me? Will I find an apartment on my budget? Will I make friends? Have I fell off my rocker for doing this? These are the questions that swarm my mind the majority of the day. I can't wait to answer these questions for you and myself! I am thrilled and terrified to start this adventure. The song A Whole New World from Aladdin has an entirely new meaning! Until we meet again!

ReplyDeleteNice post - and well written :-) Hope all is going well over there. And remember - if the anxiety keeps up, I'd be more than happy to swap places ;-)
