So after throwing the idea around in my head for about a year I have finally given some well deserved research time to working abroad. I have always wanted to do this and well it seems to work out best if I go right after college or after the first couple years of teaching.
I have tossed this around for so long and the more that I think about it the more I want to do it. I would be signing a 1-3 year contract to teach abroad in some foreign country. The partners are Australia, Japan, France, and some where in Italy. While teaching I would be paid, not a lot because they are paying for housing and stuff, but I would have the opportunity to see places and teach in countries that value teachers and it would just be a memorable experience.
Now like I said, I was only throwing it around because in reality the idea of it all is not so realistic. Andrew is not so thrilled with it and I can see why. I have already left him for about 4 years and I then after college be leaving him again to go really far away. He could come with but he doesnt want to put his career on hold. Not in a bad way, but he just got started and his foot in the door to all of the fire department stuff and by him leaving for a couple of years to come with me wouldn't be the best thing. I don't want to go by myself because I dont like to be alone with out family near or someone that i know. So if I went abroad I would be very far away from everything and with no one.
I guess I just dont want to follow a pre-destined path and live the life that was set out for me. I feel trapped by the impending roles, and I just don't want that life... gosh it is time to blast some music and get away. Later
