New Adventures

Well I have returned from Europe only to find myself slightly less confused as to what I want to do with my life. I have decided that I want to teach. I loved this summer and I would like to teach ESL. So now for the flood of questions that follow: How do I do that? How do I get certified? In which state do I want to work? Etc., etc., etc....

The answer to all of these questions is relatively the same..I have no idea! I have been in Orlando for the past few days because I have an interview tomorrow at Seminole Community College. I am going into this interview with the notion that I do not want the job. It has taken me a few days to figure that out, but I really don't think I want to come back here to Orlando. No offense to anyone, I think I am just finally getting the closure that I needed and didn't have before I left. So I think the current plan of action (after the interview tomorrow) is to head for the hills..literally back to Virginia and back to the mountains for a bit. It will hopefully give me some time to regroup and get my head together (while not paying rent) and just live simpler for a while. Winchester is so much simpler than Orlando.
It will be an interesting transition..I've been living on my own for eight years and to live with my parents again isn't an idea that thrills me (no offense to mom and dad), but I think it's the best decision for now. So that's what I'm doing. As of tomorrow I am saying Ciao ciao to Orlando and I am not sure when I'll be back, but if anyone is interested in checking out the mountains for a while, feel free to look me up and you always have a place to stay!
