Fukuoka, Japan

I've accepted a position teaching math in Fukuoka, Japan. I will be the only math teacher in a small international school. The students are from all over the world and I will be teaching everything from Geometry through Senior Level IB which includes AP Calculus AB and BC, AP Statistics, and the IB final examination. It's an amazing chance for me to grow to the highest level of high school teaching.

I leave to fulfill my 2 year contract on August 16th, so I have 6 months left in the states.

I don't have much to say about the whole situation. I'm excited about the opportunity and relieved that I made it through the exhausting interview process. I hope that we'll all get to see each other a few times before I leave, but remember that you're all welcome to come visit and experience a bit of Japan.

I think that I'm going to keep an online journal at 72ongodhike.blogspot.com. It's been a place for a bunch of us to talk since the 'team t-bag' trip last May, but I'm going to resurrect it as my own place to talk.
