It is so funny. To me, I see that everyone I know and myself are always wishing for more time. Being in this new environment, I have the opportunity to reorder everything that I do. I have found that the new surroundings have pried me from some old ways of thinking just by re-ordering the way I have had to do things. I have some opportunities here that I would not have under any other circumstances and I acknowledge that and must be grateful. The month has now begun and I really want to start getting my professional act together. It has been the only thing...and to me, the most serious thing...that I have not had a hold on yet, and that must change this month. Being closer to all of the major activities of the city is a huge boon. I love being able to get things done quickly and inexpensively. I have not given myself any thought on moving on from teaching. But it is always in my mind. I am here for four months, so who is to know that the end of the year shall be more of the same/ I don't know how I would handle teaching and having to be in this area in the future/ Some serious compromises would have to take place and I cannot say what they are just yet. I find it interesting to be at this sort of crossroads. Ultimately the only thing keeping such a decision is a financial one. I have the time to consider what I want to do next and that is always exciting and where I should put my focus.
