Exciting New Things!!

I'm super pooped so I'm not gonna write much tonight, but I just wanted to share that I am applying for a teaching position in Tokyo for this fall!! I finally bit the bullet and realized that I don't want to leave Japan just yet, and something needed to be done about it. The company is called Westgate, and they employ 99 teachers each term (fall and spring) in universities and elementary schools. The contract is for 3-6 months, and is renewable. If I get the job, I'll (hopefully) be able to go home for a short break in August, and then return to Japan to start my new contract in September. I think moving to Tokyo would be the best of two worlds-- I'd still be in Japan, allowing me to continue on the path of self-growth and exploration that I started, and to learn more about Japan and its culture, and to visit my current kiddies and friends from time to time (graduation!!). BUT I'd be in Tokyo, which is new and exciting and full of its own set of challenges and adventures. And the contract is considerably shorter, and of course renewable, allowing me greater flexibility. I really think it's a great set-up and opportunity, and I hope I get it!! Keep your fingers crossed for me. :-)

A more detailed post to follow, I promise. おやすみ〜
