Hello livejournal
So I have a much coveted interview at the Australian based school RMIT tomorrow and I really should be working to prepare a little more for it. I should be putting my all into this interview, even though I don't deserve this job, I should act like I do. Granted, I just feel like reading 'the magician king' and 'guns germs and steel' and sleeping for a week. I'm sitting in an overpriced western cafe with four of my other celta friends, wondering what I'm doing here.
The last few days have been a blur. Celta ended, I had an interview with slopony and figured out that it would be a job that would pay me nothing, but the experience would possibly be wonderful and overall very fulfilling... Rock climbing and answering emails for 8 hours a day sounds amazing to me. I don't think I could or would do it for a year, but I want to do it. Its just a matter of when.
If I decide to go now, I don't know how hard it will be to find a job after I fuck off for a bit. Then again, I don't know if they'll still want me after 6 months... I need to email them back soon, just to figure it out.
If I don't do it now, I need to find an English teaching job soon. I interviewed with ILA and I basically have that as a fall back. I've also applied online to Apollo and looked into vus. I really don't know where to look or what to apply to. I guess I have to pound the pavement soon. I'm terrified and depressed by the thought of spending more money to look for a job, or more money in general. I really am one of those people who needs to be saving or making money because otherwise I panic. That is one thing I want to let go of. Vietnam seems to be the place to let go of that. You can live here on very little and still make ends meet and generally be happy. I want that.
I met up with Rick yesterday and we talked for about 4 hours again. I really do enjoy his company. He's someone I doubt I'd ever have hung out with. Fairly conservative business man who likes bad movies and math... Haha. I feel comfortable with him... He has perspective on things that I don't and vice versa. I know I should keep my distance from him, but he's one of the only people here I feel I can truly discuss things intellectually with without any self consciousness. It's dangerous to associate with those whose affections would be given freely. It's not a dynamic I want in my life at all anymore.
I also met loan for the first time. She took me to a hilariously packed expat bar that wouldn't have been out of place in Australia or downtown dc. We talked about everything again... I like her a lot. I wish I could disappear from the western world and all of celta, but I don't know if I have the balls.
I have to do a lot soon. More about my adventures later. Time to venture on.
