It's hard to believe I've already finished 9 weeks of student teaching in Indiana, and it's even harder to believe I've completed nearly 4 years of college. Now I'm getting ready to leave for a 9,000 mile away adventure in about a week!
     For those of you who don't know, I will be completing a 10 week program in which I will be teaching 2nd grade in Bowral, Australia. I've been preparing for this trip since the beginning of my junior year of college, so it's been a long time coming. When I finish, I will have my undergraduate degree along with 12 masters level credits, my teaching license and hopefully a job not long after! Cross your fingers!
     I'm getting nervous to say the least but even more excited! All the little details are overwhelming. I dwell over what to pack, I've never flown alone or been out of the States, and I'm afraid I'll lose touch with everyone at home. But how many times will a chance like this come up again? And think of the experience this will provide me with? That's what I keep telling myself!

I will be using this blog as my primary means of communications so please comment and visit often! For the privacy of the students and people I will meet, I will not use the names of any of the students or the school I will be teaching at. Enjoy!

Here are some pictures of what I am expecting thanks to Google :)



Bowral is about an hour an fifteen minutes from Sydney
