Pre-Departure Jitters


Hey everyone,

So I'm not too great at this whole blogging thing (only have created a couple for school projects) so bear with me! Anyway this is my first post to what will hopefully prove to be a story-filled blog from my travels to Thailand.

Just to fill everyone in on what I'm actually going to be doing here's a recap:
I'm going to be an English teacher at a private school called Sathit Bangna School in the province of Samut Prakan (about 30 km south of Bangkok). The school is about 1,400 kids (K-12) and looks like it will be fairly nice. I'm going over there with one of my best friends from high school, Josie, so I'm sure you'll hear a lot about our experiences together as we luckily got placements in the same school!

Here are two links about my school:
1: this is the school profile that was sent to me describing my school and where I will be living

2: this link is the school's actual website (in Thai, but my google browser lets me translate it to english on the spot)
http://www.satitbangna.ac.th/


I'm getting a little stressed as departure day (DDay) grows nearer, but am really getting excited for all that I'm about to experience. It's not often a person gets an opportunity like this and I intend to take full advantage of everyday I'm there.

As for right now I'm just making up my packing lists, running last minute errands, spending time with friends, finishing up work and getting ready for the awesomeness that is going to be my brother and Michelle's wedding!
