Quite The Day - Genie

Today was quite the day.

It started normally: work, losing horrifically at volleyball, post-loss nap, Hyvee Chinese food, but then at 9pm, Amanda had her interview with MediaKids.

To say it went well was an understatement.

To say I didn't butt into her interview and also get a job offer would be a lie.

SO THERE IS THAT.

Anyway, we've been offered positions in Chaiyaphum, Thailand. The link below will take you straight to the Wiki page because let's be honest: nobody knows where that is.

Chaiyaphum, Thailand

Amanda has been offered a position teaching English in a high school. I've been offered a position teaching math, science, and health to elementary schoolers.

This is when you start laughing.

Right now.

I didn't even tell you the best part. The health class includes basic hygiene, safety, and sexual education. Yeet. Don't get me wrong, I can teach algebra. That I am qualified to do. But health? HYGIENE? I'm laying in bed in an interview top and volleyball pants. I think I may need an adultier adult.

Anyway, it's hard to read the position offer. I honestly wish there was someone on my shoulder I could ask about what half of it means. Will we have access to a kitchen? We all know how well I do when I can't cook for 48 hours. Amanda can't go 45 minutes without sending me a Tasty video of some baked good she's going to try this week. How far does the money we are making go? Everyone says the cost of living is much higher in the US, but just the general lack of knowledge is rather nerve-wracking.

And the language. The Thai language. Follow this link and check out the crazy alphabet. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing that we're both starting out with 0 experience with a new language.

We have until March 21st to debate if we want to take these contracts or not. I'm nervous, but excited.
