Well I figured that it was time for another update.
I went for my second set of shots on Thursday and my arms were yet again heavy and sore. I received rabies, polio, yellow fever, and mmr (measles, mumps, rubella). Next week I go for malaria and my second rabies. Then finally on August 9 I receive my last dose of rabies and am ready to go!
As for the leaving process, I have been emailing my contact in Dubai and we have been talking about a moving date. I am getting annoyed because he said that I would be leaving Regina between the 25 and 28 of August. I was told in my interview that school starts for the teachers on August 28. Marika also told me that we would arrive almost 3 days after we leave so if we left on the 28th we would arrive on the 31st. So if we left on the 28th we would not be a the school until the 31st, which is a Friday (their weekend). Even if we arrived on the weekend it is hard to know if we will even be able to see the school until Sunday....the first day of school for students! I am getting nervous because we are really pushing the leaving date and currently we may not be able to even see our classroom/curriculum until we meet the kids Sunday morning. I complained about the late departure dates and my contact says that it all depends on how soon he can get the visas. My "new life" is in the hands of this visa. Well that is all for now on my travel plans and I will continue to keep everyone posted.
On a side note...Edgar and I, as well as Jackie and Jenn, are going to Manitoba to see where Jackie is going to be teaching this upcoming school year. We are having one last road trip before we go off in separate directions. Have a great weekend!
