so i've finally taken a step towards my goal of teaching english abroad -- signed up for online certification courses. too bad my eyes can't take sitting in front of a computer screen too long ( Read more... )

i will be moving to Istanbul to teach English and probably Spanish within the next year. once the stupid GREs are out of the way, i shall prepare for my life abroad. the plan is to stay for 6-12 months. i'm uber excited. you may call me crazy. don't really care. i haven't gotten the travelling bug out yet (quite possible that i never will), ( Read more... )
