No escuela para mi.

Announcement time:  I did not get into grad-school.  And I'm pretty okay with it.  Mostly just happy to know for sure on all fronts finally.  In hindsight I probably should have been more proactive with visiting schools, e-mailing advisers, etc.  But I think that just shows my heart wasn't in it 100%.  Am now looking into getting a TEFL

I'm sorry :(

The plan to teach overseas is also an awesome one- what a great experience that would be!

It's okay, *accepts kitteh hugs*.

I have some friends who have taught abroad and they all have good advice about how to go about it, so I'm getting excited. :)

Oh, damn. I'm sorry about that. *turns up MIA* Go find you a TEFL!

Yeah, I'm okay with it. I'll just be more tenacious next time around.

I'm having fun looking into programs, I'm just worried about going with the wrong one and getting scammed or something. I have some friends who have done it and they've got good advice though.

It's alright, always other doors. It is something I want to do in the long term so I figure this just means that the timing isn't right this round.

Different places seem to offer different options. There's total online courses, which I don't think I'd have the discipline to do and they don't seem to get a lot of positive reviews either. There's one in San Antonio (where my sister lives) that covers four weekends. They also help you with job placement once you've finished it. And some people say that no employer will take you seriously unless you've taken months of teaching courses. Then again, lots of Asian countries just require that you're a native English speaker. *shrugs* I'm going to be doing lots of research and question asking it looks like. ;)

Aw thanks, it's okay. Mostly annoyed that I'll have to go through the application process all over again someday. ;)
