Well Actually afternoon; you all know how I like my mornings. Life was very confusing and complicated a few days ago. SO, under the advisement of a friend and fellow teaching buddy, I decided to get drunk ramble incessently for several hours and get it all out of my system.
Surprisingly it all helped.
Japanese was a mistake. I think, especially for people who know me very well, will know how hard a statement that is for me to make. I'm transfering to full politics - if they let me - and defer for a year. I need that year. Not to sort my head out, becuase I have already done that. But just to get more secure in what I want to do. I really feel like Ive come into my own with teaching, so I want to get some real experience out of it. I still want to go into journalism, but I want to go into it with my eyes very wide open and a bit of knowledge and experience under my belt. How can you write afterall, if you dont really know which story needs to be told?
I'm not sure where, or which part of the world I will be in for the next year. But, I do know I havent felt happier about a decision for a very long time. I dont feel like Im being held back, and I really love the idea of focusing on politics.
Here's hoping soas doesnt do anything else to screw things up for me.
