Thailand Update

Dude, I don't know if I can get use to this whole blogging thing (as you can tell by the month of inactivity). I mean, it took some effort to sit and write this bad boy. But anyway, here's a quick update on Thailand:

Medical clearance. check.
Police clearance. check.
Personal statement. check.
Updated resume. check.
Final recommendation. check.

My part is done. All the needed documents were sent in and now all I have to do is sit, wait, and dream (yes, dream) about where I will be placed in Thailand. Ohhh imagine the possibilities!!! wanna know what I think about that? WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Holy geez, I, kj de jesus, will be going to Thailand to teach English for 5 months! How insane is that?! I made this happen! And I am not average! Ahhhhh.... Blogging does this feeling inside me no justice. Like at all.

Think of the feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you're walking towards the airplane door right before jumping out--you know it's the "holy-schnikes-what-the-eff-am-I-doing" type feeling. Then think of that feeling you get from hanging out with someone you're diggin' like the squishy feeling that makes you randomly smile. Then think of the feeling you get from getting an A in a class you worked your ass off. So mix all that craziness together and you can start to understand a little bit of how I'm feeling.

Bottom line: I feel pretty freaking amazing.

With all this waiting though, i feel like I'm going crazy. You know when you have an energy overload and just need to work out? Or when you're riding in a car that's going too slow and you just want to jump out and start running because you feel like you can run faster than the car? Yea, it's suffocating to be so close to Thailand and still have to wait.

Time to start thinking about what I'm going to bring and how I'm going to fit it all in a large sized day pack...hmmm...
