Starting Over

Well it took a while but I finally woke up. I think the brunt of the emo is over and I'll finally get on with the whole life-living thing. Yeah, it's none of your business (heck I'd probably explain it to anybody who could be bothered asking directly if you didn't already know) but there was a little bit of a bump in the road, I had to come back home to fix it and then I took my sweet time getting over stuff. Now I've promised Nana I'll be home for this Christmas so there's little point skipping the country with my minimal fundage only to turn around abruptly once again! I also figure I'd like to get some proper New Year's stuff done, oh and I intend to be in Melbourne for the Ben Fold's concert I now have a ticket to. And I owe somebody money. Oh and my car needs something done to it but it keeps not having problems and then having different problems so I have no idea what'll happen with that ...

So! Next year will involve some sort of overseas charity work, an excuse to check out Yun Yang Si in Taiwan for a little bit but mostly English teaching in ... well, I haven't decided yet. Japan or China. There are pros and cons for both, I suppose. I have 200 days to sus out details, anyway, so I'm in no panic as of yet.

But as for the rest of this year! Well ... I have no idea, actually. I'll have to get a TESOL Certificate thingy, just because it'll mean I can get a better teaching job next year.

I would like to get involved in some sort of charity thing, but I don't wanna overload myself like last year to the point where I can't do anything relaxed and fun. I might have to get a second job, so I'm gonna wait until Semester 2 starts at the unis and see what shifts I get before I start hooking onto extra commitments.

Yeah this is a bit dull but hey I never said I'd be interesting, heh. This blog entry is just sitting here to remind me to get my arse into gear. If I think of other things I need to get sorted out, I'll post them too for my own benefit.

The countdown is to January 10, 2010. I just felt this was enough time to properly recover from whatever I happen to get up to in the Near Year, but hey maybe for the sake of it I will leave on this day. The financial goal is just something that I think is more than reasonable for me to expect of myself to be able to put aside in that amount of time if I actually get my arse into gear.

Oh and I've been cooking a bit lately. Generally speaking, I'm pretty pleased with the results!
