I'VE BEEN BITTEN!

I've been bitten by a bug. A really irritating, annoying, BIG bug. I know you're dying to know what bug this would be...well....brace yourselves. Its the travel bug. I just want to travel and see the world. I want to live in a different culture. How to cure this? Easy...a little thing I like to call TEFL.

TEFL? What the heck? A new drug? An STD? No no silly people...Teaching English as a Foreign Language. I actually know a LOT of people who are doing it right now, and I am insanely jealous of the adventures they are having. So, to squash that jealousy, I'm jumping on the bandwagon. Well, I will anyway. I've enlisted wonderful friend Melissa Monday (known hereafter as MM). She, like me, wants to live in Europe...at least for a little while.

This is the best time in our lives to do it. Nothing is keeping us down, nothing to hold us back. I've been looking it up on line for days and it seems awesome. You can get certified online and they are even companies you can go through to place you. And the places to go! Oh man! Greece! Italy! FRANCE!!!!

I have to say, I love MM for this reason: I didn't even tell her what was going to get us there, for whole long, or why. All I said was " I know what to do post-grad...and it lets us live in another country and get paid". Her answer? "I"M IN!" Come on people: SPONTANIETY. Its the spice of life.

Pray for me friends. It still has a while before it hits (2010), but I think it'll come soon enough. Now we have to sign up for classes, get certified and get placed. I think a year is plenty of time.

I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!
