Welcome & Bienvenidos

First of all, it should be noted that I am quite American, but that I was looking for something creative (and yet unclaimed) to name my blog. I can't claim credit for the title, as that is the pure genius of ML, who refers to me as "Barely American" and "Distinctly English" which are by far the greatest titles anyone has ever given me.

Next... this blog is intended for those who would like to keep track of me over the next year. I leave for Colombia (flying out of KC) in approximately 7 hours and 50 minutes. (The Colombia in South America, not the Columbia in Missouri.) You've heard of it... it's the place known for cocaine, coffee, bananas, and the FARC. It's also a beautiful land of (hopefully) wonderful people, and I'm very excited to have this opportunity.

Warren and I will be in P----, Colombia, until July. We will be teaching assistants at LPV, and we are hopefully directing an afterschool pronunciation and speaking program as well. It's all quite exciting, and I will blog about it as much as possible.

In addition, today I also accepted a job in Seoul, South Korea, beginning in August. I'm not completely sure of all the details, and as the paperwork as yet to go through, I suppose I might not actually end up there, but hopefully everything will work out and I'll be able to write all about it.

Wish me luck!
