Hi jessica, seen you where on the china internship and thought I would add you as I havent been on this alot. I got my acceptance letter and I am just looking to get flights now (i think i may have left it a bit late!) im from liverpool so will probably be flying out from manchester, where about are you flying out from? are you looking forward to it? im getting a bit nervous now!

Yeah it was a gr8 feeling finally getting the letter!! I've gt one more lesson plan 2 do and dats me finishd the course..have no motivation though!! Your on the ball..flights and all booked! :O Ye are arriving in China on the 1st of Feb is it?
I don't know yet, was thinking of pretty much just arriving on the 5th just cos i dint want 2 be in China on my own without a word of Chinese!! But if ye are all going out for the first, I woudn't mind going then too!! I could meet ye and we could all go together?
Hope you don't mind me inviting myself along!:) If you could send me on your flight details or information, I could look it up! My rep hasn't sent me any info yet..he said he would send it on with the invitation letter for my visa! Thats gona take a few weeks i think...I kinda prefer to get organised now though!

Hey Jessica! Im Danielle..have been trying to finish my tefl so haven't really been on this!! Neway I got my acceptance letter for China the other day and now it finally seems real!! Bit apprehensive but excited at the same time..this is my first adventure so to speak!! So I want to chat to others that are going too..I haven't anything done yet!!:O What about you? Ya all organised?? (",)
Hey jess!! My name's Steph I'm from Clare in ireland!! I've just signed on to this chalkboard, also lookin around 2 meet people going 2 China!! R u nearly all sorted? I haven't gotten around to doing anything really yet..Christmas and work r big distractions ha! :-)
Hi Jess, I just put how many GCSEs etc I have rather than list the grades, as I also thought there wasn't much room! I'm quite lucky really because I spent 2 years travelling and worked in Australia for 6 months so I wrote about that in the International Experiences bit. It was also a small section though so I don't think they're after much - to be honest I didn't really get what that bit was all about, it's a bit vague! I'm sure listing holidays and stuff is ample!
Have you started on the course yet? I've just reached checkpoint 3 and it's alot more challenging than the previous ones!!
I'm not entirely sure how long it takes to hear back. I think i was told that i may be up to 4 weeks! Grr! I'm hopefully going to do some travelling afterwards, it all depends on how much money i've got! I'm thinking of going to Nepal for a few weeks before it starts! Ideally I'll be able to use TEFL to travel and teach for quite a long time. That would be the life!
The course has not been too difficult. Some of it is really easy and some of it is completely brand new! I am enjoying it though and it's not too daunting and the workload isn't horrific, which is nice!
