I am so content.....
I am so increadibly content right now...I don't think I have been this content in such a long time. It's really nice...I am poor as hell, but, at least I am happy....and I still have food in the fridge, so I can eat.
1) I decided teaching English, for me, is equivilant to selling out...so, I am not going to do it. I grew up here.....I hate being one of those endless english drones wondering the streets of Tokyo. I don't like being seen as an "English Teacher." (any moron could do it...) So, luckily for me, Reka (this awesome hungarian girl who moved into the guesthouse last week) wanted to go get a job in Roppongi...and wanted me to go with her. So, we went and got jobs.
Yes, Roppongi is sleezy, but, you know what? At least it's not safe. What I mean, exactly, is that teaching English is so safe and doesn't really allow for you to expand too much. I want to see some of the underbelly of the world. I don't want to feel like I wasted my youth doing day jobs I hated. So, I will work in a bar and continue to work at my current job. If I hate it, I will quite and become and English teacher. Easy.
Besides, I have always had respect for people who work in roppongi...it's a different type of work...people who, either don't have a degree or are willing to put themselves out there and get into trouble. I want to be the latter.
2) I have figured out that I can incorporte Japanese and Spanish, both, into that type of bar schedule. I found a Spanish teacher here, so that I can get the grammer down (if I really wanna talk in Spanish I can go find a boy...but they won't tell me what is wrong with my spanish out of politeness). And, I found an amazing Japanese school so I can get that down.
3) I am thinking of moving to Argentina in a couple of years...for Photography School. there is a two years photography school there that would be good. I asked Allaire to move with me (though, she probably won't want too) and would be wonderfull for the language. Plus....
4) The Brazilian girl, Renata, I live with said I, then, could come visit her. She is super cool....much like me and kind of crazy. Plus, I now have the fourth langauge I will learn...Portuguese.
