The Countdown Begins!

I am officially within the 48-hour period before I head to Indonesia. Although I experience ocassional moments of, "Oh man, what am I getting into?", I am mostly felling excited and ready.
To set the scene, here's everything I know about my upcoming adventure...it's not much:
I'll be flying from Columbus to Jakarta via Chicago, Hong Kong, and a night in Singapore. Then I'll spend one month in Jakarta, hopefully learning a little bit about how to teach English while also learning to speak, read and hear Indonesian. Soon there after I will head to Surabaya where I will spend the next nine months teaching in a Catholic School.
That's really all I know for now. I'll tell you more as soon as I know more. In the meantime, send me an e-mail or post a comment (and if this is your first blog experience, please don't be intimidated. Just take your time or find someone to help you get through it!)
