“Remember what Bilbo used to say: ‘It’s a dangerous business, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.’ “

I just returned from my interview, which went very well. They asked a lot of personal questions and questions that pertain to my reaction in strange environments.

So now I am officially nominated to teach English in Asia or Africa! Of course this nomination may be exactly what I do, or I may end up teaching science in Latin America or developing communities in the Pacific Islands. Nothing is for sure yet.

I will probably be leaving between June and September of next year, though again, nothing is for sure.

My next step is to fill out a tremendous amount of medical and dental paperwork, and then hopefully get my invite!

Thank you all for sticking with me through this so far. I promise it will get more interesting soon!

Oh, and a special thanks to Chris for so many awesome quotes! Keep them coming!
