on 8/8/06 i got a call from department of defense education activity offering me a job in bamberg, in the bavarian region of germany. i plotzed. after a 20 minute dizzy spell, it hit: I'M MOVING TO GERMANY!!!
i originally applied in 02. last year my brother, who lives in holland and teaches in a NATO school, tried to help me get a job in his school, but it didn't work out. now i will be about a 5 hour drive from him and his family. dig it.
i'll be teaching elementary special ed. i will be a civilian contractor. you know: like haliburton -- but for much less money, and i'll be held accountable for the work i do. it is a 2 year contract. after that, who knows. doug is convinced this is the end of my US residency. i can't think that far ahead. either way, i'll be back in the summers for a month or so.
auf wiedersehen!
