We Applied

Well, our biggest news is that we finished our applications for the CELTA English teacher training course. There was an application form as well as a "task" to complete which involved reviewing a magazine article and identifying parts of speech and other grammatical details. We also had to attach a resume and make a statement about our reasons for pursuing certification. Anyway, we did all this, and this past Tuesday had a great day up in Vancouver, the highlight of which was dropping off our applications at the Global Village English Training Institute. The school was very nice and professional, and we were both impressed, so we are excited. Once accepted, we will study for an intensive month in September then be eligible to teach English all over the world!

The rest of our visit to Vancouver was very nice. We had lunch at a place called Lonsdale Quay which is a food court of all sorts of ethnic choices. We had a couple of coffees at Tim Horton's (an upscale Canadian version of Dunkin' Donuts). We did a lot of wandering and appreciating the hustle and bustle of a big city. It was a nice day away.

We look forward now to our Cali trip which is fast approaching... Ev is cramming in a lot of school work so our time there won't be filled with that, and Andy is cramming in a lot of work so that our trip is easy on the bank account. So nice and busy!

Won't include too may other details this post as the news of applying for the CELTA program deserves a bit of relishing.
