so we meet again
Who's this handsome guy!? *talkin about you, me*
Once again, hello future-me.
Congratulations! Not dead OR in prison as of this day 2014.
How is life? Where do you live? What do you do? Are you happy? I, being you, doubt it. But I did just watch this TED talk about how our personalities never stop evolving. So I guess theres hope that you're now(future now) an emotionally stable person with some idea of what you want to do with your life and how to go about achieving that. I think this is true because god knows we are almost nothing like early 20s us. That guy was a nutcase. Handsome devil though he was.
As you know I am (you were) living in Beijing and teaching English for another year. Its not bad at all. Not exactly fufilling, but it beats scrubbing toilets at the local community college to get by. (Ha, actually, that job wasnt so bad. We listened to so many books on tape during those long nights, so many albums, so many podcasts.) Beijing is okay. Not amazing. Kind of got its head up its own ass in a lot of ways but it does beat living in Saginaw by far. I don't regret coming here. Not sticking around after this contract is over but definitely not a waste of a year either.
So how are you? Are you in Japan doing the JET program, teaching in some backwater prefecture? Maybe at some franchise training school in Kyoto. Did you ever figure out how to land a Korean hagwon job in Tokyo. I hope you did (I do.) Maybe even making big bucks at an international school. Whatever you're doing I hope you're happy. Or atleast content. Or atleast doing whatever you're doing with purpose.
Good luck.
