We interrupt this blog because......

well....because I'm going to be traveling for the next seven weeks or so. Off to Dallas and then to New York for most of July and August where I'll be spending seven weeks in New York this summer. Seven weeks learning (and acquiring a certificate) to teach non-English speaking people to speak English (with a Southern accent, I imagine. But....that can't be helped.)

I've been admitted. I've found an apartment to sublet. I've orderd most of the texts. I've done most everything except convince myself that I'm actually going to do it! I mean, it's been years since I've been in school (as a student or as a teacher).

Yet, why do I feel so excited about it? Why am I not scared and anxious? Why am I actually moving forward -- step by step? Have I lost my mind? (I don't really need that last question answered....)
