I don't know if it is the crazy dream I had that I was back in the Philippines with the old PayPal peeps or the travel journal "Sex Lives of Cannibals" that I just finished reading, but I have the travel itch. Now that I am in Texas without my beloved friends and family I'm feeling even more like traveling abroad. Of course, I can't do any traveling this year. I have to find a job for next year and need to make some money some time.
I may look into teaching/volunteering abroad during the summer in the next few years. I would enjoy doing it and it would get a little of the travel bug out of my system. I have decided to go back to school for a masters in English...well not completely...still on the fence. I've been struggling with this decision for a long time...and honestly I'm still struggling. I love Psych, but I just don't know if that is the road I want to go down. I think in the next 5 years I want to move on from teaching High School. Education is very frustrating with NCLB and such things the government shouldn't be involved with...but they are and I don't like it. I think my skills are better served in a Community College or University. Anyway I need to make a time frame to make this decision. Maybe a month or two...not real specific...I don't think that is how you are supposed to set goals.
Hope all is well with each of you. I don't have any great Texas stories. It just takes a little getting used to. I am hanging in there...I start substitute teaching next week (this week is spring break). I am looking forward to getting into some of the schools. The job fairs for next year start at the end of this month.
