oh beautiful that information helped me out alot. Sent in my visa a few days ago, i know i know procrastination to the max! Im flying out of Chicago on the 17th i believe! I can't believe how soon it is ahhh! Everything is going well except I kinda dropped the ball on my immunizations so I wont be getting all the sets because I didnt start early enough... whoops :( Just trying to pack up the apartment and put everything in storage. See you in Beijing for the weekend course!

hey sam. i'm from colorado too and am actually taking a year off in between before my senior year of college. I go to CU-Boulder. When are you leaving for China? Noticed your name was on my invitation letter. How are you getting your visa in Chicago? Can't wait!

hey! im new to this whole chalkboard thing but i was reading the forum "Anyone from the USA?" and noticed you are flying out of denver. im living in Lakewood, right outside of denver and am also doing th august internship. would love to meet up if possible!

feel free to add me on facebook just look up (Diana Durgin) it might say im from Austin, thats where i was going to school. 

If you are going to China I may be able to answer any questions you may have. I have been there in the summer and winter.

Hi, I noticed you are from Denver, that is my home town. I was wondering if you could tell me what you thought of the online course or did you take the online course? I have no teaching experience and was wondering if the online course gives enogh information. Hope to hear from you soon.

Sam, it will be fab when August rolls around. I have already booked my flights with S.T.A Travel and on the ball with preparing my resources for teaching, flashcards, pictures of interest, music etc. I'm mostly looking forward to getting away from the repetitive strain at work, day-in-day out! Bleh…

It will be an adventure for us all :) Glad your looking forward to it being amongst us, I'm with you, I love the blogs, Rozel and Roberts are the two I have been following and I believe their experiences really make a good impression and points out the reality of the 'ups and downs' we might face ourselves.  

Hi there, hows it going? I see you have  just signed up with us troops to China in August! - it's nice to see the people forever growing on Chalkboard :) Good luck with the TEFL course - it is intense in some parts. If you have any questions about application process etc, give us a shout! Byeeeeeeee
