Staging!

My staging packet arrived in the mail yesterday. It consists of information on when and where to report (Los Angeles) plus yet more paperwork to fill out before actually getting on the flight to Manila (on Hawaiian Airlines no less).

Uh. My. Gah.

It's starting to feel very, very, very real.

Its hard to believe we'll be meeting in only 40 days! I've started reading a little language acquisition theory and it seems like Rosetta Stone is exactly how language **ought** to be taught: full immersion and lots of pictures. It does get a little old after awhile i think. Anyhow, its great to meet you!

Dear Ant Hill,

Hey Hillary, just popping in from when you left me a comment (forever ago...sorry!). I'm also doing education, teaching English specifically. I see you joined the 267 yahoo group. If you have facebook, you should join our group there too, since it's more active and we're consolidating our flight times into LA and such:

I can't wait to meet everyone! Have a fun rest of the summer, and I'll see you soon.
