inulro | The Really Good News

Yesterday I had my interview for the teaching English as a foreign langugage certificate. I was really impressed by what I learned about the course and the language school I'll be using. There was actual teaching involved, and I died on my feet, but they did give me the hardest example (there was three of us interviewing together).

Got the phone call today - I have been accepted on the course! I am very happy about this. They don't care that I haven't "used" my qualifications in 8 years. If I make it through the course, prospective employers will not care about the string of crappy jobs I've held. They will care whether or not I can teach English. So I can finally get a new start. I don't know why I didn't think of this years ago.

I realise there's every possibility that I will either physically not be able to do it, or that I will hate it. But, you know, there's only one way to find out. I will disappear off the face of the earth for 5 weeks starting the 30th of April. I'm going to stop working two weeks before that so I can rest up.
