We are going to go to missionary language school (thats a link btw) in Albertville, France... for four months. From Sept. 2 - Dec. 20 are the dates that we will be taking classes. We are going to go a couple weeks early though to travel around, and Mike (our advisor and buddy) wants us to visit some people that he knows in Germany. We'll be taking 35 hours a week of intensive French there so hopefully we'll know it pretty well when we are done, and then I will be going back to Mali about 6 weeks after we get back, for 6 months! So I should have a pretty good grasp of French when I get back! THEN I'll have another year of school left (yes I'll be a fifth year senior).. and after that... who knows! I know mom and dad are wishing that I knew that already, but things can change, and I'm open to whatever God will want me to do... so we'll see I guess!
I'm pretty excited though... but this means I'll be home all summer, and that means I'll be getting a job.. (I know, shocking! it shocks me too..). But, I do need money.. so what else am I going to do?
In the meantime I am starting a 10 weeks long french class held by alliance francaise d'Omaha.. should be interesting.. I'll be taking it with my advisor Mike, which will just be hilarious.
Also I am teaching ESL (english as a second language) at Christ Community to international students... (I'm not the only teacher, there are a lot of us). It's pretty informal which I like, because then we can just talk to the student and get to know them which is awesome, and it's fun to teach english! I'm thinking that I should get my ESL endorsement, but we'll see...
its definitely going to be an interesting rest of 2008!
