Questions & Answers

I'm blogging again!  Now that I'm about to head off on another overseas adventure, I thought that it was a good idea to resurrect the blog so that I could keep in touch with my friends and family that are still in the dark ages (i.e. don't use a certain popular social media site).  :)  And, to be honest, I like the idea of occasionally being able to express myself in (hopefully!) well-thought out prose instead of a brief status update. 

Since I am still stateside, I don't yet have a lot to say.  I did, however, want to get this up and running, so I thought I would explain more clearly what I will be doing.  I seem to be getting a lot of the same questions lately, so I must not have done a good job telling everyone about it.  :)  Tomorrow I head off to London to take a course to get certified to teach English as foreign language (TEFL).  The course is known as the CELTA (Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults).  It is one of the most well-known certifications throughout the EFL industry.  The course is a month-long, full-time, intensive course-designed so that I will be taking classes while teaching real students for a hands-on learning experience.  I'm excited and terrified at the same time.  What happens after I complete the course?  Well, assuming I pass, I start looking for a job.  While I'm sure many of you are hoping I stay safely (or not so safely these days!) in London, I will most likely be moving on to another part of the world.  Will I head back to India?  Not likely, but I always like to keep my options open.  :)  I'm not really sure where I'll end up, but I'm sure wherever it is will give me plenty of stories to share!
