Some closure.

Today I had one of those rare moments when I was able to articulate everything that I needed to say, the moment I needed to say it. This is unique for me. While I like words and have a general idea about the order in which they should go, I am sometimes flustered by one-on-one conversations that require me to think quickly about how my answers will affect the immediate future. And my sanity. But today, in my meeting with the director of the VIC, I was able to answer quickly and decisively. Anyway, long story short: from now until the end of the year, I will be acting in an advisory capacity for the International Center. With my schedule, I cannot commit to a full-time position; or even part-time. However, I can certainly be available to the folks at the International Center and put them in contact with other VU students who will be able to conduct ESL classes. After graduation, the field is wide open. If the International Center is able to offer a full-time director position, then I'll gladly accept. But right now my involvement must be limited. So, yeah, the meeting went well. I'm happy with my role.

Thanks for all of the positive thoughts and support, you guys. I really appreciate it.

Student teaching starts tomorrow! I'm so excited!
