So, as if I wasn't busy enough, I added 20 hours of class time a week for the next few weeks. I decided it would be a good idea to get my TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) certification. I figured it would be good to have whether I taught here in the states, or abroad.
While the class itself itsn't super exciting, and I've learned most of what we covered this past weekend, at KU, I really enjoy being surrounded by like-minded, adventurous people. A lot of our class is just us talking about experiences we've had abroad, and it's so fun! It can be really hard moving back from a different country because your friends and family get tired of hearing every sentence out of your mouth start with, "when I was in..." So it's really nice we all have a space we can share our adventures, hopes, and desires and have others understand those adventures, hopes, and desires.
Also, though I'm sure it's not just because of this class, I was already offered a job in South Korea. And while I couldn't accept right now, it's nice knowing I am desirable in the job market of other countries!
