One week from today I will be at the airport and ready to go. I have so much to do between now and then. Preparing to travel and to teach at the same time has been a bit daunting. I have Hemingway and Shakespeare to read and lessons to plan. Not to mention the epic suitcase hunt that is about to happen, or the amount of teaching outfits I have been working on putting together. Also the nice woman at the consulate in California informed me that usually visas take 3 to 4 weeks this time of year, not 1 like my instructions said. Not to worry though, she said she would rush it for me.
The pieces will fall into place and I will be off. I know the next week is going to fly by. Feeling super excited today, but a bit overwhelmed by what is left to get ready.
I went up to Seattle yesterday to visit with Lauren and Judy. We ate at a great Thai place on the Ave and I wondered if they have good ethnic food in Wellington. Then Lauren and I went to Pike Place and bought touristy things as gifts for my hosts and mentors in New Zealand. We ended up picking out some nice Seattle themed mugs and Pike Roast from Starbucks.
