Almost There

Aaaaaalright everybody! I now have a blog while I'm living in Thailand. I think I'm just gonna start off with the details of my trip:

1. I'll be at the Pichit Imperial School from August 12 - December 18, 2013.
2. I'll be teaching English using a hands-on immersion method, as opposed to the traditional methods used in America, to kindergarten-aged kids.
3. No, I won't be making any money. I'm happy as a volunteer.
4. The program I am leaving with is known as the International Language Program (iLP for short)
   [Here's a link to their website if you want more info about that]
   
   and.....
5.  I don't speak a lick of Thai.

It's okay though; it's called immersion learning after all right? For the kids and me as well. I can't even begin to explain how excited I am to actually get to the country. I've always wanted to explore the world and studying for 2 years at BYU: Hawaii only fueled that even more. Not to mention the emphasis in my Associate's Degree was InterCultural Studies.

Anyways. I'm excited to leave tomorrow morning! One suitcase full of craft supplies, the other full of clothes and a camera to document it all!
