OLYMPICS!

08.08.08 at 8PM. Yes sir. The Beijing Summer Olympic Games are upon us. I am so pumped! Ever since I was little I have loved the Olympics, probably because of the Opening Ceremonies. There's so much spectacle surrounding it, and I love spectacle. I also enjoy seeing how a city transforms itself for the games. I think Beijing has done a fabulous job...I mean have you seen "The Birds nest"? It's amazing. I will be glued to my seat tomorrow. haha.

So after much thought. I am definitely considering teaching English in Asia. I am not sure if I will do it right now at this moment because I think I'd be cutting it close. A program I have been looking at is the JET program. I would be teaching English in Japan. I've always wanted to learn Japanese...and I think this would be tons of fun. It's a lot of work...the application process alone is a daunting task. But I think I can get it done. And seeing as the theatre companies I've applied to are rather slow at responding, I think I should do this.

My mom, dad, and Tita are really supportive of this...which is always a plus. I am actually surprised at the amount of support I am receiving. It's really great to hear them say "YES! You should definitely go" and "It would be a great adventure!" so on and so on. It's definitely reassuring.

I guess I should get started!
