  • End of College

    Travel Journal from United States Texas, United States | Mon Dec 03, 2012

After more than 3 years of doing the same thing, I'm getting pretty good at being a student. On one hand, I could stand doing this for another 2 or 7 or 50 years. On the other hand, I want …

    Travel Journal from United States Illinois, United States | Tue Jul 10, 2012

    Today was my first day of TEFL school in Chicago. Let's just say it was a very tiring and overwhelming day. But I'm very excited about this new adventure and receiving my certification. It's a very intense course, but very attainable. I'm looking forward to the next 4 weeks. I learned a lot already on the first day.
