The Devil is in the Details

I just found out that I have offered a teaching position with Company A. I am very excited and accepted the job offer.

I also just found out that the start date has been moved from April to March. That means I have less than two months (or a little more than a month depending on how you look at it) to prepare myself for departure. That means obtaining the money to buy a plane ticket as well as having enough to survive for my first two months there (there is lag time between when we start work and when we get paid). I haven't told my family that Company A offered me the job and that I have accepted. I am seriously considering selling my car to at least of set some cost. I want to pay of my credit cards before I leave. I also have to look into public storage to store many of my things that I will not be able to take with me.

The devil really is in the details. The broad picture has been painted and I see a great outcome there just the financial obstacle I must overcome. I still have time. A lot can change in a day. A lot can change in a week.

I received some more learning materials today:



I have to say these are the most exciting educational materials. A huge boost in my learning!
I have been listening to my Shadowing CD and it is very hard. I mean, they are speaking so fast I can't even begin to repeat what they are saying to speed. It will take time, but I am confident.
:sigh:
I need to tell my family my plans soon.
I fear what their reaction is going to be. They can be so negative at times...
