Well here it is...December. I'm three months into my adventure and still ticking. The last couple of weeks have been tough ones. Work has been quite stressful for a number of reasons and the wear and tear of constantly being in an alien culture is taking it's toll. But I remain in good spirits and am daily grateful that I jumped on this opportunity.
The thought of what to do next is starting to push its way into my mind. At this point I really have no idea. I presume I'm welcome to stay here for another year. I could set up shop teaching in Halifax again. I could look for another adventure somewhere else...South Africa would probably be nice :) Maybe I could sign up for a master program in Hawaii or something. But to this point, I confess, none of these options are really reaching out and grabbing me. I look forward to coming home and relaxing with my friends and family.
In the meantime, December promises to be the longest of my teaching career...there's no Christmas Break! It's like I have a real job or something...what's up with that? I didn't sign up to be a teacher so that I wouldn't get vacation time... ;)
