I completely forgot to post an update last night. It was probably for the best. My brain was entirely fried by the time I went to bed. I spent nearly the entire day working through applications to get certified to teach English. I completed one and got partway done with the second one. There were tons of grammar questions asking that I identify verb tenses and all sorts of other things I didn’t really know how to do. I did my best searching online to figure things out, but it was really confusing. I think if I was taught it I wouldn’t have that much trouble with it, it’s just that I’ve never been taught grammar from that technical of a standpoint. I sent off the first application which I can only hope was satisfactorily done. I’m not sure it was, but I’ll find out depending on whether or not I hear from the place about interviewing. I’m nearly finished with the second application. I worked on it for a bit this morning. I texted a friend of mine who taught English in Japan and I’m hoping to get her on the phone tonight and go over my application answers. I don’t want to risk submitting two applications with a ton of errors in them. If getting accepted to this class to get certified doesn’t work out I’m not certain what I’ll do next. There are less rigorous certifications I could get and still go and teach, but I’d like to get this one because it would make it easier for me to travel to places other than SE Asia and teach if I wanted.
