Gaaaaaaaaaaah
So it is pretty much solid that me and Michael will be moving to China. I've got 2 job offers from 2 schools, and an interview with Disney (yes disney has an English school, don't ask me why- cause' Chinese people love it I guess :P ). Right now I'm driving myself crazy refreshing my e-mail waiting to hear back from them... even though I just talked to them yesterday.
I can't help it! I'm literally driving myself crazy with this China stuff. It's all I can think about 24/7 and all I want to do is talk about it.
I reallllly want to get the job from disney-- it sounds awesome. I would be teaching little kiddies- like aged 4-8. We would play games and sing songs and what not (typical disney stuff :P) to help them learn English. It's basically the same thing I do now, but instead of teaching Spanish it will be English. The job pays pretty well for in a job in China (fyi currency conversion is 1US $ = 7RMB) and will be located in Shanghai- which would be AWESOME- since shanghai is full of expats from the US, has diverse grocery stores, and lots of things to do! In addition to my pay they also give me an additional stipend to pay for housing. Disney would pay for me to stay in a hotel for 30 days whilst I look for an apartment, which is pretty nice. They're also willing to pay for my tefl (teaching english as a foriegn language) certification, which is so great because it usually costs like 2grand or so to get that done, and I can use it for future jobs. The contract would be for 2 years, and they would pay for my plane ticket and everything which is great too. All in all... I WANT IT NAO!
Michael will ofcourse be coming too... he's thinking about getting his cert. too while he's there so that he can maybe get a teaching job at a local public school or something. If I have to leave before the end of the summer, he might stay here until he finishes his lifegaurding job, so he can make the extra moneys. :)
Seriously I'm going mad... if I'm on my computer I'm researching apartments, stores, etc, in Shanghai... when I try to sleep all I can do is dream about it, and when I talk to anyone all I can do is tell them about it.
I think I'm starting to annoy myself... HA!
