A couple of significant developments in my career are taking place this summer, so I thought that it was time to say goodbye to my old blog over at blogger and start up my very own domain here.

First, I am finally getting started towards a Master’s degree, in International Education from the University of Bath. It’s part-time, so I’m going to be reading my way through two courses while working this coming school year.

And second, I decided to return to my previous employer, Hong Kong International School. However I’m not going back to the high school: I’ll be teaching grade 7 & 8 Social Studies. I will dearly miss everyone in the Secondary Division back at The ISF Academy – colleagues, administrators, staff, students, and parents – but it was time to go.

My aim is for this blog over the next year is that it will be a place where I am able to refine my thoughts on my coursework. I’m enrolled in two modules: Research Methods in Education, and Multilingual and Multicultural Education.

And…that’s all I’ve got for now. But I DO have plenty of questions / plans / next steps for this blog. I want a new theme and I don’t like the title. I hope my professors will let me mention them by name. And as I fall asleep, I wonder: will I be able to turn this into a Real Blog that Real People read, or will the realities of school life crush my hopes and dreams yet again?

Talk to you again soon!
