oh yes, things are good. I passed my final CELTA assignment on first submission (yay!), now just planning my final lesson (featuring Mr. Bean; he’s a real global celebrity), for delivery in about 20 hours from now.

We have a wee bit more to do on the Friday, but it’s not going to be too demanding, and should be pretty handy – it’s all about finding TEFL jobs. In the afternoon we’ll be attending a summer school party (food and drink kindly provided by the centre), then that’s it. We’re done. We should be given our provisional results on the day.

I travel to Devon to see my brother and family on Saturday, Bristol on Sunday to see my sister and co., Oxford on Monday to see my other sis and co, then I have two days of final packing / sorting out currency / tying up all loose ends here in the UK.

Then, 6am Thursday morning I leave for Heathrow.

All I need now is my visa – the embassy has had my application for a week – might give them a call tomorrow to see if all’s OK.

Very very excited!
