The Countdown
May 6, 2008 by bantonucci
It’s May, and time is passing. There’s not a lot new to talk about. We’re still waiting for the Greece schedule and materials about the countries. I have heard from several of the other Fulbrighters in Hawaii, New York, and New Hampshire. They are asking about what sort of small gifts to bring and whether we need shots or not. I have a line on some gifts, and the consensus is that we don’t need shots for Greece and Bulgaria. I’m also starting to think about what my curriculum project might be. I’m thinking about a “Where in the world is…Mr. Antonucci?” link on my library web page. I could pose a question or post a picture while I’m away. Some of the questions and pictures from that link could lead into that project. All of these ideas are based on the assumption that I’ll have access to computers. And that is a big question mark.

Your project idea sounds really fun. I’ll play along with it while you’re away. Although, I’m sure it’s intended mainly for your students.
The clock is ticking. Are you getting excited? Nervous?
Yes to both questions. When I think about it, the travel, the people, sleeping, eating, etc., I get nervous and excited in equal measures. What should I bring for five weeks away from home? How much money should I budget with rising prices and the declining value of the dollar? What about the other people I’m traveling with? What will they be like? And I think all of us are waiting for more information from the people coordinating all this. Details, details.
