Episode Two - Sydney

A new day, a new challenge...
Praise the Lord, my Passport is printed and on its way, which is a huge relief because now I can organise my Visa!
I have had lots of contact with the school, and the new teachers this week, which has been amazing! I've had e-mails with most of the new teachers, especially my room mate (Corinne) and Jessie, who will be teaching Year One! Talking with them has really eased my mind, because they are feeling much the same as I am, overwhelmed, underprepared, freaked out!
Corinne and I have been provided with a really big apartment, which is going to be fun, and I'm hoping that we will have lots of visitors. Our place is a four bedroom appartment (three of which have ensuites!) that is (for the next week) housing a family of seven (Yes, TWO people will be living in a place that comfortably houses seven currently!).
My biggest worry and stress at the moment is attempting to start programming for my class. First year teacher, curriculum I've never even seen before, new culture, living out of home for the first time... You do the math! I'm well and truly FREAKING OUT!!!!

Love to one and all, I'll write again soon.
