A couple of things

First, and most importantly, Happy Anniversary to my lovely parents! They celebrate 27 years of marriage today. I love you both so much.

Secondly, I'm about-to-jump-out-of-my-pants happy because I have a new job! No details here, unfortunately, for obvious reasons. It's only part time, so I'll still be teaching at the Institute, but I'm excited for the possibilites this opportunity brings for my professional development. It's a career opportunity, whereas I knew teaching English was only a job. That's not to say that I didn't like teaching. I absolutely do. That's why I'm glad I'll be able to do both for now. However, I know that I can't teach English (at least here in Chile) for the rest of my life. The schedule is just too draining.

Thirdly...hmm...I'm not sure there was a thirdly. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Happy 4th to all of you from the US. Is anyone doing anything fun to celebrate?

Abby, congrats!! Landing a job in Chile is tough; landing an opportunity that can result in something more is even tougher.
Woo hoo to you!
