Why do I want to leave the country again when I have several reasons to stay, especially since France is such an odd place? Because somehow, I can tell it’s the right thing to do. Also, it’s the perfect use of both my majors (teaching English in France) and I can see if teaching is a good career path. And if I get to teach little kids, I’ll be constantly amused. French kids are adorable. Well, kids are adorable.
The idea just clicks. A part of me belongs there, and the rich green landscapes and sturdy, ancient fortresses call me back. But I’ll be back. Always. Here is home.
And why, you might ask, do you think this may not work out?
1) Our scanner won’t work, and I need to scan several documents. Easy fix, go to someone else’s house.
2) Gatton was going to be my second recommender. The way it works, is you type the person’s email address on you application online, and they send an email out. I made a typo in the address cuz I’m dumb and didn’t realize it until break. I fixed it, but I’ve heard he doesn’t have internet at his house. There’s only space for two recommenders, so I can’t make someone else do it on a moment’s notice, especially if Gatton is halfway done and I don’t know. Why am I so dumb? Talked to Brandon Kenney, and he says he'll pass the message along and give me his home phone, so maybe it's not hopeless.
Oh, the application is due saturday. Fun stuff. I’m not paying my $40 fee until everything else gets done…
I really hope it does, though. Apparently I want to go a lot more than I thought I did… Send good thoughts, please.
