Leaving In Eight Days

Hello and welcome to my blog. As many of you know I will be teaching history in Bogota, Colombia for the next year and a half. As of today I leave in 8 days and I am finally realizing that this is really happening. The past few weeks have been hectic to say the least, I graduated college last week, finished student teaching on friday, and moved out of Chicago two days later. I now find myself on the cusp of having my own classroom in another country. I plan to use this blog in order to keep all of you back home up to date with what is happening in my life, what I am doing in my classroom, the adventures I go on, and random things I find on the internet that I want to share. I hope you share in this adventure with me and please give me feedback if you can.

I really have no idea what to expect when I arrive in Colombia but here is a video of Bogota and the surrounding areas that I've watched a few times in hopes it helps.
