OMG

Got the shock of my life this morning when I received a phone call from INDIA!!!! From the school I applied to. They said they would let me know next week if I was short-listed for an interview. This is going to be the most horrible week ever.

The school contract begins July 1st, and I don't get out of grad school classes until August 8th, so I don't hold much hope out that it can be sorted, but still, Ridiculously Excited.

Speaking of grad school, I will be in London for 10 days in June, and I have rented a ridiculously tiny flat near the Hammersmith station. I will have my BetterHalf and two children, aged 11 and 9 with me. Suggestions for things to do? (especially those that might not be obvious from travel books and such)

Now returning to Trying Not To Hyperventilate Over Events That Will Never Come To Pass.

Congrats. It sounds like a huge adventure. Can I ask, how did you find the job?

I googled "teach English overseas," and the school popped up. It was in a beautiful part of India that I visited when I was 19, so I looked at the jobs posted, and then I sent them my resume. Things just kind of clicked along. All very strange. I'm afraid to hope that it will all come through, but I'm doing it anyway!

Thanks. Good luck. I hope all the timing works out.

Visit the HMS Belfast (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Belfast_(C35)). It is well worth the time and money.
