Signed and Scanned

So I signed a contract. I will be teaching in Daegu South Korea at the Canada International School. I will be starting in July. I am so excited but so nervous at the same time. TeachESLKorea has been so helpful so far. They are so easy to reach when I have a question and my questions are always answered.

I am trying to get all of my paperwork together. My University has been very accommodating with preparing my documents to be sent out as soon as I graduate. I hope it all works out. I should be getting my FBI background check in the next few weeks. It will then be sent to both my school and then it will ned to be sent to Chicago for my visa process. It is very confusing.

I have already been in contact with a couple people over in Daegu and even one of the current teachers at my school. Everyone has been so nice so far, it makes me feel a lot better. I am getting excited to meet new people and terrified to leave home.

More to come, as the process continues.

Do I? Or don't I?

So today I heard for TeachESLKorea Recruiting. Their website is wonderful. I feel very confident with this company. I have so many thoughts rolling through my head. Did I get these forms? Do I need this form? Do I qualify for this? It is a constant state of panic, because I know what I want, I just don't have a lot of control over it.

Currently I am trying to decide if a TEFL certification is worth the money. I would need to do it online, and some reviews say that completing the course online is not as relevant. However there are others who say that it is just as good, and a cheaper, more convenient option.

I'm trying to decide if a public school job is worth the perks or if a private school is more up my alley for my first time in Korea. It's difficult to talk to many people here about it, because no one I know has done something like this, expect everyone thinks it's a great opportunity.

Currently this blog is short because I honestly just need to get my thoughts out there.
