DoDS for me?

I just had a genius idea...

Last night I went to see No Reservations with Emily in Sedona. It was ok for a chick flick. It was good to have some time to hangout and chat with Emily on the drive. Student Teaching has left me too tired to spend much time with people (at least grown ups) anymore.

Anyway, on our drive down to Sedona Emily is telling me about her plan to do her student teaching with DoDS. DoDS is the educational system on US military bases. So basically Emily would get to teach American kids in a foreign country. It is an awesome program, and if I was allowed to do it I would have in a second. But don't get me started on why I couldn't.

Then I was talking with Emily about my trip to Spain and my worries about money. Will I have enough to enjoy traveling after I am an au pair?

Then it hit me this morning as I'm putting in my contacts! Why don't I look into being a subsitute teacher with DoDS in Spain? That way I can teach, I don't have to know a new language, I can earn some money, and I can get to know other Americans! It would be awesome. So now I need to check into the military situation overseas and see what is viable.

If this idea doesn't pan out, something will. I will ask Reme and Manuel to help me find some work in Madrid too. Clara is in school 9a-5p, so I would need something to fill my days. Sure I could do nothing... but I've never been good at that.

Well I gotta run. I just wanted to share my exciting idea.
