im like lowkey freaking out. It’s april now and I’m in the homestretch for graduation. I’m supposed to start working in august abroad, but i haven’t even finished my tefl cert yet. i only have 4 hours to go but 😩 i’m feeling so drained. It also doesn’t help that people are starting to apply now for August start dates and the longer I put it off, the less choices i have for good schools. 😭😭 someone tell me to get my shit in check bc i’m dying 🤡

[wonderfulcali]

fuck these professors tho fr. Giving us assignments with no directions, working our asses off for a 20+ minute presentation with 30+ slides and practically failing us. 😐 what the fuck

[wonderfulcali]

So I have less than 100 days until I graduate and start the process for finding a job overseas. Unfortunately, I can't do anything until I have my diploma and fbi background check notarized, authenticated, and apostilled. I'm trying to make lists of everything I need, while keeping up with my last semester of college. Hopefully everything goes smoothly. 🤞🏼Fingers crossed🤞🏼

So I finished the first semester of my senior year. January starts the second and my final semester of my undergraduate career. I’m trying to drill down what exactly I want to do. I have my TEFL certificate, I also have the opportunity to work here in the states. I can go straight into social work here in KY or I can find another job. I also want out of this state, this area in general. I really loved CA when I went there and wouldn’t mind living there, but I also have a friend who lives in NYC and she said I could always stay with her until I get my feet on the ground and could find a suitable living situation. Decisions Decisions.

I have to wonder why tf my ancestors would leave a place like this 😭 like why would you come to america??

[wonderfulcali]

This semester starts later today. I've already been looking at the homework load and LOLOLOL. One of my sociology classes to graduate requires me to journal everyday and write 3 things I'm happy/thankful for and I have to turn it in every week 😂 If this is how senior year goes, I'm not complaining.

[wonderfulcali]

Well good news?? I’m sending off my passport application on Saturday and getting my new ID soon so I can fly. I’ve been planning what I need to buy. I’m emailing this teacher in Thailand to see if I can observe his classes for 14 hours. Then I’ll volunteer at the refugee ministry to get my last 6 hours of teaching. I’ll officially graduate then and I can start looking for jobs and saving money 🥲 This is surreal and I just started.

[wonderfulcali]

I can’t believe that I’m 3 weeks into my TEFL course. I’m about to start my summer session. In the fall I begin my final year of school. I might be joining Sigma Iota Rho for my final year. It’s a new chapter at my university. In the Spring I graduate and then I’ll be out of Kentucky with a new job. The next year better fly by! 

[wonderfulcali]

Should I do a masters program?? 🤔 I really don’t know. I feel like I should figure this out soon

[wonderfulcali]

the homework this semester is going to fucking kill me. 🙂

[wonderfulcali]

i actually didn’t hate parting my hair in the center for once 😳

[wonderfulcali]

I’m starting my TEFL 120 hr course this semester. It’s $1400 but it’s an investment in my future. My goal my entire life has been to leave my state and explore. This is going to give me that opportunity. I graduate in a year and afterwards I’ll be a certified teacher and aiming for TEFL in Asia. I’m so close I can feel it. On the brightest side, I found all of my textbooks for this semester for free online so that’s $400 worth that I don’t have to pay 🎉
