Okay, so this month has been interesting, in a boring kind of way.
You see I spent a lot of time being a good teacher (including welling up when we had our graduation and had to say farewell to several students).
Some time was spent travelling--Hello Niagara Falls and Toronto! What it do? I thought I'd have more to tell you about that, but besides being the hot westerner there's really nothing that I'd like to share.
I'm still waiting for responses from the schools in the Caribbean, but my resume wasn't sent out in November, like I thought, but on the 10th.
I've been thinking more about travelling (of course) and the ship off date--at the earliest--is March, when Alie leaves as well.
I still haven't sent the housewarming gift I bought months ago, or gotten my follow-up eye exam. Whoops.
In the meantime I'm getting a handle on my finances (in January my loan repayment almost quadruples!) and thinking about travelling (Travel for Good vs Whistler Sabbatical vs PeaceBoat vs UforPeace).
A lot of thinking and decision-making that I'm not sure I want to do, but I've recently reread some of my posts from years ago (and reposted them) and I'm sure I need to travel again. If only to do it as an adult without the pressure of returning to school (the least) or because I'm not sure if I've held it in higher regards than it deserves because it was so brief (the most).
We shall see, that we shall.
