The Countdown Begins

Soooooo.....Today is Tuesday and tomorrow is my last day teaching at Amberlea.  The principal came in to tell my class that I was leaving and to let them know that the teacher who had been helping me all day was now going to be their new teacher.  It was very sad because a few students started to cry. (Made me feel bad.)  Several more kept asking me why I said yes to take the job.  I told them that it is a once in a lifetime opportunity and you can't just turn those opportunities down, but I don't think they really understood.

The next few days will be a whirlwind.  Tomorrow morning I take Blitz to get his rabies shot and health certificate and I also have to get another fingerprint card done for some reason so I have to drive to Tempe again.  Then I'll go back to school for the afternoon and finalize things there.

Thursday I drive to Tempe again (maybe I should wait to do the fingerprint card then, hmmm) to get all the paperwork signed off for Blitz to be able to go with me to Germany and then I head over to Luke AFB to meet with TMO who will take care of sending my belongings and car to Germany and then to the travel agents in that office to sort out my flight over.

Then I plan that evening to head to Lake Montezuma to say goodbye to my parents and grandparents (that will be hard) and return Saturday evening.  Sunday I will finalize everything and then I hope to fly out on Monday.

Amidst all this I still have papers for my master's class to complete and a home to organize to get ready to pack up.  Whew!  My head is going to explode!

My next post will come when I've actually reached Germany.  I will be posting pics and info as I go.

Tschuss (Bye)  BTW that u should have two dots over it but I don't know how to do that. :)
