Packing

Time passes quickly...where does it go?  I have finally listened to advice and have actually begun to pack.  Don't get too excited, I am not done but have made good progress=I've started.  It has already been a tough process and I have not done that much.  I can check in 2 bags at 50 lbs apiece...thats 100 lbs of stuff for a year.  Exciting.  I think it will continue to be fun and I look forward to taking off.  Some news since last time, I have received my visa and passport late last week, so I now actually physically have my paperwork which is even better.  Please continue to remember those at Shi Yi, that their paperwork would go through as quickly as possible and they would be able to join us soon.  Back to packing!

Good news for new teachers at RDFZ

As some know, new teachers had some paperwork issues about two weeks ago.  The good news is progress has been made and I have  received my paperwork to leave on schedule!  The first school received their paperwork last week and I received mine today but should also remember not everyone does have the necessary paperwork to go.  I hope I will be able to update with more good news soon!

2 weeks..2 days

These are exciting times.  The next several days should prove to be great fun.  The Olympics open in two days and I am ready and waiting.  Exciting news for me, I am currently scheduled to depart in two weeks!  

Some bad news and then good news.  Last week, news came that some paperwork has been held up and first year teachers would either be delayed or unable to go.  Good news, I found out today that some have been able to process their paperwork and things are looking up for the remainder of us.  We will continue to wait and see but hopefully things are able to go on as scheduled.
