I can't believe that I am actually beginning my first posting of my adventure to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates! So let's start at the beginning...
January 2012: (Sophia moment) Picture it...January 2012..it's a cold night...my laptop sits in my lap with a recruiting page with an application to teach in Abu Dhabi. I'm staring at it..wondering and kind of fearful. All of a sudden, I hear my mouth utter, "Why not?" All of a sudden my fingers began furiously typing and uploading my resume..finally, I press send. At the time, I didn't realize what I had just done but events were already beginning to play out and nothing would be the same again.
Fast forward to today...I survived the interviews and gathering paperwork. I resigned from the only job I have really ever had and now I am just waiting....that's the hard part...waiting. I am excited but nervous at the same time. I plan to write and post pics throughout this process. I will see you on the "flip side" yall!
