Today marked three rather exciting and nerve-wracking moments.
1. I picked up a brochure about Japan from the travel agency.
No sweat there. Just a little bit of advertising material, some beautiful images, and a whole lot of money involved :)
2. I was called my one of the BIG 4 (japanese english teaching associations) to interview with them.
Not so interested. Sure, it sort of hammered in that this 'adventure' of mine may actually become real. But at the same time, this was for a company which does not have rave reviews on the internet, and so, i wasn't too fussed yet.
3. I was called by another of the BIG 4 to attend their group interview.
At this stage, I was getting a little more excited , and more than a little nervous. This was the company that I did want to work for, the one with the rave reviews across the boards, and the one where life in Japan seems to fit in well with.
It got all too scary when he emailed me a whole bunch of information regarding the interview, and the teaching demonstrations that I would have to do as part of it.
Now , it really got me scared.
I haven't heard anything from the Korean agency just yet, but Korea seems a little bit *too* scary for me at the moment.
But back to being scared - I keep wondering if this jump is an impulsive reaction triggered by one bad week at work (yes , last week just dragged on and on and made me feel like my brains were turning into unstimulated mush); or whether or not, it was something that I would truly enjoy and embark on.
I emailed a couple of people, and all told me that they had the time of their lives over there - heck, it must be great for Christine to spend another year there hehe ;). But anyways, I'm looking forward to it, yet also am more than a little nervous...
But I guess we'll see first if i do okay in the interviews, get a job offer, and then we'll decide the reality of the decision eh ?
