School is a bit manic at the moment as we have had end of year exams to mark and now we have reports to write on a tight schedule (so obviously I am distracting myself from this by blogging!!)
On the Qatar front, not much has happened. I have had a few quotes from some shipping companies and I have now decided who I am going to be shipping my stuff with which has taken a weight off my mind. Now all I need to do is liaise with the others who are going to see if we can all ship together as this will reduce all of our costs. I think we are close to having this arranged. In my head, having a shipping date feels very final but in a good way - it will make things feel like they are rolling forward again.
Shukri, one of the teachers that I am moving with, had an email from the school the other day asking her to confirm her flight details. This must have been so exciting for her - I am still waiting for mine so I am going to email the school in a minute to make sure that they don't forget me :-P
In other preparations, I am buying clothes that I think will be suitable, swimming costumes and starting to arrange my leaving party, well I have a date set for it so that is a start. I am also working out a lot more at the gym - I want to be slimmer for when I move in an attempt to cope with the heat better. I heard from someone blogging from Doha that yesterday morning it was 42 degrees c at 9am which scared me a little.
Now, I am just waiting to chat to my new boss on Skype to discuss what my new role will be when I get there. Feeling all dressed up, hair done, make up on at 1pm on a Saturday is an interesting feeling but all for a good cause - I am really looking forward to what she has to say....
