Day Two: But Not Actually

So it is very clearly not “actually” day 2, however it is my second post on this blog, so for all intensive purposes this will be Day Two.

To update anyone who cares to know, I have finally submitted my coverletter and resume to my Job Search Adviser through the company I did my TESOL course with (Oxford Seminars).  Hopefully this will help me out in my search and I will soon start receiving job offers.

Now to finish the online portion of my course and get all of the other things sorted out.

Until next time, much peace and love,

Nearly Nomadic.

Day One: First Blog Entry and the Beginning of My TESOL Journey

Who knew that beginning my journey would be so difficult?! So far I have completed my in class component to my TESOL course, began the process of using Oxford Seminar’s Graduate Placement System, and have looked at a BAJILLION job listings online (including volunteer positions) Oxford Seminars replied to a tweet of mine with “We’d love to hear about your Journey” and I can't help thinking to myself—although the official “journey” has not begun, the JOURNEY has definitely already started and I have less than 2 months to find a job, get my passport sorted out, get a visa of some sort figured out, and all of the other necessities before even stepping foot onto an airplane to make my way into the big world beyond my beautiful native country of Canada.   So far my Oxford Seminars Graduate Placement System seems the most promising avenue for finding a TESOL job, and I am really hoping it will help me land a paid job in one of my top choice countries; well I am REALLY hoping to land a job in my TOP choice which is Spain, although I understand that will not likely happen. (fingers crossed!) My feelings are mixed, I range from “oh my god I’m so fucking excited” to “what if I can’t find a job, what if i cant get a visa, what if, what if, what if???” At this point I am frustrated, full of anxiety, excitement, and anticipation! I know I will feel a hell of a lot better when I have a flight booked and all of the things I need are in order. This is terrifying, this is exhilarating, this is life!

Peace and Love,
