speechless!

So it was just after 2:00 on March 3rd, and I had finally made it to the end of Monday, a feat in itself. With one more class to teach, Jennifer Ricks, our administrative assistant, came into my room and handed me a note to call Kevin Cessna, National Spanish Exam Director. Stunned. I knew it would be this week, but never expected Monday afternoon!

Imagine the tension I felt trying to finish that last class, discussing the wonders and awes of the preterite and imperfect tenses :) Finally, the bell rang, and I was able to return Mr. Cessna's call. 

I got it! I am a 2015 recipient of the National Spanish Exam MLSA Teacher Study Abroad Scholarship to Costa Rica! WOW! I applied on a whim, thinking this could be a great way to spend my summer and get some experience, and now I am really going to Costa Rica!!! Mr. Cessna was so nice, and made my excitement even greater, discussing his personal experiences as a teacher with MLSA. 

So here we go!!!...time to renew my passport! :)
