HERE I COME AUSTRALIA!!!

SO my VISA Came today!! WOOO! I am so thankful. I am getting nervous. I can not believe I will be in Australia next week. It is scary yet very exciting.
I also got my other placements today. I am in Chippewa Falls at Hillcrest Elementary in the kindergarten classroom 1st quarter. Second quarter I am at Cadott Elementary in 2nd grade. I am really excited to be able to start teaching yet nervous at the same time. I can not believe I have made it this far. AHHH
I am in the progress of moving out of my house in Menomonie. I am sad to leave Stout but happy to enter into a new phrase of my life!!
Thanks for all the encouragement!
