I can’t believe it is the end of my first year overseas. Much like other schools there is a checkout and saying goodbye to students and teachers. However, the teachers who are leaving are going every where around the world.
I have completed other first years, but learning what you need to know in a foreign country adds another level.
At the end of the day there was a goodbye mixer. A hallmark of all our meetings is potato chips, pretzels, and m&m’s.
Of course wine and beer.
We had time to say good bye and see what others are doing on their way home. Many more ideas for vacation!
Fiona is going to teach in South America and adrienne is going to Africa.
Glenn on the left is going to Toronto. Already have plans to go visit there. Others, Bei and Dan will be back next year.
Scott teaches chemistry and will be back next year.
Or departing athletic director who hounded me until I said yes to coaching cross country. It was a great experience.
Eli also completed his first year here. He is from Brazil. The party continued with karaoke on the bus. If course we had to tip the bus driver as we were pretty obnoxious.
After getting back I had to get ready to move the next day. However I made time to eat with some if my girlfriends and go to the pool.
