Moving to Austria In September of this year, I will be moving to Austria to participate as a Fulbright AAEC teaching assistant. I'll be teaching from October 1st, 2012 until May 31st, 2013 (8 months). I'm very nervous about being away from home for so long, especially because I won't be able to see my family and friends. But in the long run, I think it will be good for me. If I plan on teaching English abroad, I must become accustomed to being away from home for long periods of time. Aside from being nervous, I am really excited about this opportunity and very thankful that I was accepted. I applied in 2008 and was not accepted. Now that my grades and recommendations are better, plus I am about to earn a BA in German, I finally achieved what I tried to do four years ago.

Happy Women's Day! Happy International Women's Day to all the ladies out there!

Bucket List (Since putting this as a question apparently causes some people to get sideways, I'm re-posting this in my notebook) As some of you may already know, a "bucket list" is a list of places to visit or things to do before you die, or "kick the bucket" as we say. So, because I plan on spending a long time traveling around the world in the near future, I need your help in putting together my bucket list. Tell me something you have in your country that I should do or places that I should visit before I "kick the bucket" Note: anything involving heights or spiders is a no-go, such as bungee jumping or being covered in tarantulas. :-) Thanks/Danke/Obrigado/谢谢/շնորհակալություն
