Ummmm.... wow




Today I found myself on the phone with the superintendent of the Amerian School of Dubai. Dubai is in the United Arab Emirates, on the Arabian Peninsula.
I found myself telling him I would be interested in a job teaching middle school math there, if they would hire me.
Then I found myself rushing off the scan and email him my letters of reference.
All this from a man, and a school, I never knew existed 36 hours before....

This was a mere 9 hours after I found myself in the office of the Head of the elementary school at ISB.
For an interview.
For a job next year.
An interview I found out about less than 24 hours previous....

And now I find myself trying to comprehend what has just happened here.

I find myself confused, because I thought I would have a bit more time to waffle around about my decisions.
I also find myself excited, because when opportunities pop up in front of my face, it seems as if they are meant to be.
I find myself strangely attracted to the idea of myself in Dubai, with the same sort of heart-shaking expectation I felt when I decided to come to Brussels.
I find myself scared out of my mind.
but
I find myself confident.
At the same time.

Now I'm finding myself realizing that staying awake won't make offers come sooner.
And I may be thinking about all this in vain.
So now I'm taking myself off to bed.
