Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes....

Sadly, it has been nearly a month since my last post. I am not sad about it so much as I'm sure people who check this regularly have started getting bored with it. The lack of postings has been mostly because I am doing more and more with my free time. So sitting in front of a computer doesn't seem like as good a use of my time. In the month since my last post, a lot has been happening here in the land of smiles.

I guess the biggest news is that I bought my plane ticket home. It's a little weird that I already did that and I feel like I just got here. I really like it here, and I know I will miss it, but I think it is a good decision not to stay another year. At least that is what I keep telling myself. Coming back now will give me plenty of time to look for teaching jobs, I just hope there are some for me when I get back. And who knows, if I stayed another year, I might like it so much I never came back.

In other news, I started rock climbing outdoors again. I forgot how much I like it. I am taking some courses here so I can feel knowledgeable when I return to the states. Once there, I think I'm going to start climbing a lot more. It'll be a little bit of an investment, but it'll definitely be worth it.

One question I keep asking myself is where I want to be when I get back. Now that I'm sure I'm coming back, I am not sure what city I want to find myself in. I haven't lived in New York for about eight years now, which is a long time. So a big part of me wants to live there. But I also know finding a job in New York will be much more of a challenge than in other cities, like Baltimore. Or the option of a whole new city is still a possibility. I don't know yet, but hopefully I will by the time I get home.

On the domestic front, I am debating between saving my money for when I get back and spending it all and travelling around Thailand. I think I want to travel. After all, when else am I going to be able to see all this stuff without flying from the states? Maybe I can somehow balance my money saving and my travelling. We'll see.

Hopefully posts will be a little more regular, and a little more interesting. I just had to write something now to get myself back into it. Until next time, keep watching the stars!
