CHINA!!
Well, life certainly has a way of surprising me and keeping me on my toes! I recently applied for a job to teach English in China through Disney. Well, I sent in my application about a month ago and hadn't heard anything, so I contacted them last week and they told me the positions had been filled but they still wanted to interview me. Well, I didn't really get my hopes up, but I thought it would be an amazing opportunity for me. So, my interview was today and it went great! And basically they were very excited, but unfortunately had no openings, but they said they would let me know if something opened up.
And then, two hours later I got an e-mail informing me that a position had opened up in SHANGHAI CHINA!!!! So I am leaving June 22nd and will be back August 20th (Just in time to go back to teaching on August 22nd...) I am so excited for this adventure!!
