I'm doing 43 things
With the help of my job search advisors I’ve been applying to schools in China, Korea, and Japan. I am very hopeful that I can land a position soon, but the whole process is a little stressful and the thought of being ready to pick up and move out of the country seems daunting. I’m sure it will all be worth it though. I hope I can get a good job offer soon!

Well… This will hopefully be happening soon. I’ve started applying for English teaching positions in China, Korea, and Japan with the help of my job search advisors at the company I did a TESOL certification with, Oxford Seminars. I’m very hopeful, but a bit stressed about the whole process. It will be a lot of work to be ready to pick up and head out of the country, but it is a challenge that will be worthwhile.
I came across a deal for 5 yoga classes at a local studio on Urban Dealight. The price was very good so I decided to purchase the deal. Now I just need a yoga mat and I can go to my first class!
