First in Flight!

We booked our flight to Prague today!  So exciting.  Then we spent like 30 minutes calling the airlines to make sure that we're sitting together.  The whole time I was on the phone with Alexandra and the airlines (1 hour and 15 minutes), I thought that I was talking to her Verizon to Verizon.  The moment I realized I wasn't, I hung up!  That is so many daytime minutes....now I'll have to cut back!  Next we need to book our hostel, since we'll be looking for apartments our first week there.  Should be pretty interesting.  The excitement of leaving is mixed with all of the uncertainties.  

Al posted some questions on a blog cafe and this one guy keeps responding to everyone else who has positive things to responding to Al's questions.  Its like he's a super hater and is trying to dissuade people from wanting to teach English in Prague.  I'm still staying positive, but I hate that I "hear" his nagging voice in the back of my mind.  

On a positive note, I'm going to complete my 20 hours of classroom observation/tutoring on time.  I've been observing at De Anza College and its so much fun.  Its really rewarding and makes me think that I'm doing something that will be so rewarding.  I just hope that we'll have a bunch of interviews scheduled for the first week that we're there. 

The online course is getting tougher.  We're learning grammar, which is tough in itself.  We take the English language for granted.  All of the rules and whatnot are going to be a challenge to teach, but who doesn't love a challenge.  It keeps things interesting...
