Spring Break 2012 – Philly: TESOL Int’l Convention to Charleston
The conference was truly a crazy few days as I started to get over jet lag and was getting up early every day to attend sessions. My main intent for being there was to do the Leadership Certificate Program, which I had started through some online courses in the fall. At the time that I…

From Chicago, I continued my US tour by visiting R’s home for a few days. It was lovely to meet his mom, who is very sweet and friendly. We had a good time eating, talking and using the pool. It’s a quiet little world in South Jersey, but it was much greener and spread out…
