Butterflies in My Tummy

I am going to have an internship in Izhevsk, Russia. I am going to work in one of Arboris Club as a teacher. The job description is teaching English through culture. The periode of teaching is from February to April. Therefore, I plan to fly there on 29 January.

But it didn't run as I expected. The process of making IL took longer than usual due to Russia will be the host of Winter Olympics. I needed to send additional papers such as CV and recommendation letter. They promised my IL will be done on 27 of January. Aamiin.

Today is Thursday, 23 January. It means four days to go. And what makes me feel unease is Jakarta's flood. I am so afraid that the Embassy office is closed because of the huge flood. Since I am in Semarang, I need to send my papers (the passport and the rest requirements) to the agent. I can not do it by myself. I don't know a thing about Jakarta. It is way easier for me to hire an agent to do in my behalf.

The butterflies are actually my nervous feelings. This will be my first time to fly by air plane. Nervous for being alone traveller. Nervous for being a foreigner there.

Most of Russians do not want to speak English. It will be a huge challenge for me. Alhamdulillah, because of the internet and technology, I can contact the PPI Rusia. I asked some helps.

Well, I think that's for now. I will share more if my IL has come and I start making Russian Visa.

Assalamuálaikum.
