Travel Season is in Full Bloom

Hey, everyone. I don't have a lot of time to write at the moment, since I'm headed off to Jeju Island tonight and haven't even started to pack yet. But I still thought I should give an update on the work situation that I mentioned last week.

I talked to the company last Friday, and, though nothing has been signed yet, we agreed that I'll change schools and stay until the end of December or the beginning of January. The decision wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, as there was no way that I was ready to go home in June. So it looks like I'll be teaching English for seven more months. That really isn't a big deal, but what happens after that is still a mystery. Maybe grad school.

Also, as part of the change over, I'll end up with a week and a half of unexpected vacation between my school finishing on June 4 and the new school starting on June 16. Rather than hang around here waiting for something to happen, I'm going to use that time to my advantage and take a trip to visit my friend in Cairo before he leaves. He's been there for a year or two already and will actually be leaving at the end of June, so it's a great time to go. It's an expensive flight, but otherwise, I may never have the chance again (at least to go and know someone living there).

So that's the plan. Jeju Island for the next four days, Cairo in June, and still another week of paid vacation in July. I should figure out what I'm going to do with that time, soon.

Travel season is fully in bloom now. Enjoy the weather!
