Pre semester gitters

I’ve been having a bit of a freak out recently as to my future. I’m coming up on the second semester of my junior year, so that means that if all goes according to plan I will (hopefully) have my own classroom full of some tiny children in just a year and a half.

That’s frightening.

What grade am I going to teach? Will I even have that much of a choice? Where am I going to get the money to decorate and stock my classroom? Where am I going to teach?

Just some of the thoughts that have been going through my head.

A year and a half is still really quite a bit of time, I guess. I’ve got at least a semester and a summer before I feel like I should really buckle down and figure out the answers to some of these questions.

Lately I have been looking into teaching overseas at American International Schools. Everyone in the school has to speak English to attend, so I wouldn’t have to learn a new language to teach. To get around outside of the school is probably a different story, so I’ve really only limited my research about that to the UK and Ireland. I’m starting to think that a lot of people who are researching the idea are doing the same, so maybe I’ll branch out soon.

Other than that, well, new semester starts on Tuesday, but I’m starting early spending 15 lovely hours at MCC between tonight and tomorrow. We’ll see how that goes.
