Happy Dance

You know those pictures Charles Schultz did of Snoopy dancing around, nose in the air, full of joy.

Imagine me, mentally doing the happy dance.

I got the final signature, and now I'm officially going to teach abroad in England!

I've never been to England. And now I'm going! And I'm going to stay and teach there for a term.

And I'm VERY excited! I've been waiting on this signature, trying not to put too much hope in things working out, but sort of holding my mental breath. And now I get to breathe again!

Yay!

  2. That is awesome! I had never been before I took a group of students there for a week, and it was among the best moments of my teaching career thus far. I hope your trip is just as rewarding.

  7. That will be wonderful. Enjoy! And watch out for the weird local customs, like sweet corn on pizza.

  8. Yay! That will be awesome. When? Where? Inquiring minds want to know. Will you be teaching your students, or English students?
    To add to Janice's "odd customs of the locals", there is sweet and sour fish and chips from the local takeout Chinese...

  9. Wow! So awesome! I've only been to England once, and it was enough to convince me that I wanted to live there for the rest of my life. I adored it. I hope you have a wonderful time! So jealous!!

    And I have to say, given your othet world travels, I'm surprised you haven't been to England before, especially given your field. So this is extra-super-duper special!
