I think I'm going through the phase everyone goes through whenever they finish the "prerequisites" outlined for them, such as high school or college. The sheer number of different paths available presents limitless opportunities, but, also, an abundance of overwhelming choices.
I always have known that I wanted to travel all over the world and, ideally, live abroad. Therefore, I applied to a Teaching English as a Foreign Language position in Thailand. I bring this up because I had a Skype interview for one of the companies this evening and they wanted me to start in June. Unfortunately, that is something I cannot do due to school and doctors appointments. However, the recruiter said they would save a position for me that starts in November. Perfect.
You see, people get nervous when they don't have a plan. I'm pretty versatile and accommodate easily to change, but I need to know that change is within a larger structure. Globe-trotting is ideal within the set parameters. I'm a human being and we crave structure, just look at our government and its endless sets of rules and regulations.
My plan is to secure accommodations and visas in different countries by teaching English to the residents in each one. I have a plan for the foreseeable, and unforeseeable, future. This makes me comfortable with how my life is progressing.
I had my disability meeting in UCSD's Disability Office today and the woman who helped me printed out letters for me to provide to my instructors which will allow me to type all exam answers. This has been necessary following my fall out of a tree last July that resulted in an 11 day coma. I'll post a more detailed entry about that at a later time.
Right now, I'm just providing some context to my life; I'll promise I'll get to some palatable content soon enough.
