19 days to go

holy crap!!! i leave in 19 days. this week has been the first time in this entire experience that i have been somewhat nervous and anxious about my trip. the teacher that i will be working with sent me my unit outlines for all 6 of the classes that i will be teaching. i think it was the first time i realized that this was for real. these people really expect me to come over and the really expect me to teach young people. aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh. breathe, cathleen. in through the nose, out through the mouth.

anyway the unit outlines were a great help; they were very detailed and had every activity and lesson planned - just a skeleton of my days. i am excited to see what it will be like to put meat to those bones and actually teach for myself.

with 19 days to go, i have been busy working, hanging out with friends, discovering and learning abotu skype (i now have a skype account, you should get one too and then we could chat together while im away), and figuring out web cams. welcome to the 21st century, cathleen!!! this is incredible - i never imagined any of this possible.

God continually amazes, romances, and surprises me. He has provided everything and abundantly more than i could ever ask or dream of with this trip. He has provided monitarily, spiritually, and in every other way. HE IS FAITHFUL and I am thankful that He shines His face on me.

for the 2 of you who read this - hope you are well. let me know if i am leaving things out you want to know; i am at your serive! love you : )
