Getting things ready for trip

So much to do. I have to get documents authenticated before I can leave. It takes 7 weeks for the first step and then an additional 3-5 days for second step, not including getting info to and from Ottawa. I'm suppose to leave in less then 7 weeks now. Hmmmmm. So I found a courier in Ottawa that will take care of that end for me, so now I need to courier my documents to a second courier in Ottawa and it should be done in a week or so. Fun fun.

New job and opportunity in the UAE

I have been teaching in Newfoundland, Canada for the past 5 years. Most of it has been substituting and I really want to be working full-time and have my own classroom. I want to feel like I'm making a difference, as corny as it may sound. I recently applied for a teaching job in Abu Dhabi and was offered a job last week. I am being recommended for kindergarten and leave late December to start in January, 2011. There is so much to do before I go, it's overwhelming and exciting all at once. I'm leaving behind everyone and everything I know. I just hope I am making the right decision and it will all workout in the end.
Looking forward to a new adventure :)
