ann's journey

i have been here in the US for almost a month, 22 days to be exact...
i find it uninspirational to write anything in my blog because honestly, i wasn't really impressed with America, Baltimore to be exact...
on my first week, i had a series of paper works to do, from getting in my Social Security Number, to having medical exams and completing all the documents to be submitted to Baltimore city Public School System.
The next week until now and this will go on until the 3rd week of August...we have a pack of seminar and trainings...which i think even a bulk of it will not suffice our need as a new teacher to fully grasp the culture of our new students here, not unless onthe first day of class which will be on the the 19th of August...

Until, last friday came, July 25th... i was so excited to go to another state and of which it is the famous state in the Us...at last i will be going to the city that doesn't sleep...so i took the 4.30pm greyhound bus and eventually head towards NYC at 5.30. It was a 4hour trip and it was fine. When the bus was approaching NYC, my heart pounded with much excitement...my mood was so happy to see the bright city lights...they were twinkling like stars on the ground or christmas lights on july...finally i arrived and waited for ms olive to fetch me, and while waiting, i was having some happy thoughts, i was teary-eyed in realizing that finally i am in america nad in a couple of minutes will be meeting the primary inspiration of my American dreams...MS OLIVE JOPIA-ABARQUEZ...
