Welcome the year of the Dragon

Last Monday was the beginning of the Lunar New Year. The Year of the Dragon...bit of a big deal. It is my year and as such should be a good year for me. It will definitely be a year of huge life changes. My husband and I are 99.9% positive that we will be moving to Korea permanently in a little less than a year. He graduates from Lee in December and then off we go! So on top of trying to finish my Master's degree and teach a lovely group of high schoolers, I will be applying for a new passport, a visa, an actual job, and beginning to pack up and sort through my life. Phew! I'm already tired, just thinking about it. I have to figure the logistics for getting our two cats to Korea, as well as all of our stuff (much will be given away). If anyone has gone through this before, I welcome any and all advice!

I am also well into my last semester of student teaching. Much more is required of me this semester and I blanch at thinking of everything that I have to do in so short a period. I love my classes though. My first block is amazing, as is my fourth and most of my third block. There are a few students that I would love to just pummel and if there weren't laws that stopped me, it might have happened already. They probably need a good pummeling too. I'll just leave that up to Life.
