(no subject)
Sitting here at nearly 3 a.m. on a Monday.
I'm currently in flux. I've still got a significant amount of debts to pay off and only about 10 weeks left on my current contract. With a lack of confidence in the US job scene, plus a lack of time to look lately, plus a lack of people wanting to hire someone currently in Korea, I've brought up to my boss that I may be willing to stay here for longer.
Right now, there are two options for that. One is I stay here straight through May 2011. That would likely pay off nearly all my debts and give me a couple thousand in my savings account.
Personally, I really like the thought of something different; a new set of challenges. As good as this job is, it does feel stale at times. There isn't a lot of challenge in teaching this material anymore. And I'm lonely and still sometimes bored.
Anyway, that's me complaining which isn't productive. I do like the idea of heading home as a 31-year-old with no debts (other than student loans). That gives me a much wider range of possibilities than if I go home this summer as a 30-year-old with 5 figures of debt.
I was sick this weekend, which sucked. I was SUPPOSED to go to Busan (about 2 hours north of here) to help tutor the head KT's brother in business English. I am hopeful we can do a re-schedule for obvious reasons. Bad timing, but I slept most of Saturday and Sunday and I do feel world's better.
So, yeah, I'm going to job-hunt until a new contract gets plunked down in front of me. Hopefully I can find something awesome stateside or stay here. Another option, of course, is going home and then finding a new overseas gig. We'll see.
