Life... is interesting, as always.
I feel like I'm in a state of constant transition right now.
More than ever, I'm asking myself such questions as:
"Where am I going?"
"What am I doing?"
"Where should I be going?"
"What should I be doing?"
"What do I want? What do I want to do? Where do I want to be?"
"How do I get there?"
"What is important to me?"
I've been focusing a lot on family and friends lately. I actually really enjoyed Sabrosura tryouts. I miss dancing salsa, and I miss everyone in Sabro. I've gotta work my butt off so that I can find a good new job and dance with Sabro starting in January.
DefMo Retreat was ridiculously fun. We've got a great new generation, and I'm so happy to have this one last year with everyone currently in the group. I can't express how much I look forward to the rest of my time dancing with DefMo.
As far as my career goes, I have 2 possible options:
1) Take 2 weeks off my job in November to go to the Philippines for my grandfather's memorial service and the wedding of a family member. I'd then work for 1 more month before my funding for my position ends, and I'd have to find a new job.
2) Quit my job 1 month early so I can stay in the Philippines for free for a full month. From there I could go to Hawaii for December, then spend Christmas with my siblings, nieces, and nephews in Seattle.
Either way, I need to find a new job for January. As a backup, I can always pick up more hours at Kaplan to match a full-time job.
I'm leaning towards option 2, since it'll give me much more time to spend with family that I've never met - or seen very rarely. I'll just have to work even more hours to make up for the missed work. Then again, it'd be more than worth it.
