Moving Forward

Here's as good a place as any to lay out the master plan... In 36 (frighteningly short) days, I will be uprooting myself and possibly transforming the entire outlook of my future. In 36 days I will be stepping on a plane bound for London, by way of Iceland (can't wait to touch down in Reykjavik!)and after that, a train to Leipzig, Germany. I'll be spending almost a whole year in Leipzig as an exchange student at the Universität Leipzig. After that... well, the plan is; student teach in Buffalo, graduate with an Art Education degree (minor in German) in December, and be off to Brooklyn by January. Once I get to Brooklyn however, I'm not entirely sure what I would do. Ostensibly, I would look for work as a teacher. However, I might try to find another accommodating nanny gig that would allow me to seek my Masters in Art Ed at CUNY Brooklyn College. Another option is getting certification in German and teaching that as well, but I have time to make that decision.
As with all plans, these are only tentative. I mean, it's the ideal right now but who knows what might happen in a year in Europe? Wish me luck, all! Or, as they say in Deutschland, "Daumen drucken!"
