State of the [my name]
It's a wonderful time to be alive, I think. Sure, I don't have a job, but, I do have 2 kids I'm tutoring. That gets me by, for the time being.
It's great that 7amood is finally back in kuwait. We hang out at least once a week in a gahwa for like hours and talk about the same old bullshit.
I hope I get this job I applied for, in Bahrain. The pay really isn't anything special at all, it's actually a big step backwards, but, I feel like I need the freedom and experience it will bring. Plus, since it's basically zero expenses on my part other than food and travel (which will be so little if I can take my car there) it's only logical that I'd accept the position if it is offered to me. I've had a pre-interview Skype, and the lady said she would recommend me even though my background isn't in teaching. I hope they accept, as for the pay I doubt they will have a native English speaker, let alone a westerner!
I just want the freedom and the ability to save up really. I really want to do my best to save up, even though I won't be able to for a few months. I haven't even been offered the job yet, but I've already earmarked portions of the first two paycheck to fix up my truck. It's probably gonna run me 200 - 300 KD to get my truck fixed up: fix the oil leak that's been annoying the hell out of me for the past few years (I should have fixed it when I had a job, but I actually thought I would be able to sell it instead of getting fired so quickly at the last school), fix my mirror (I could do that anytime but I'd rather do it from my own money and I'll have to do it by May regardless so I can renew my registration) and most likely change the engine coils AGAIN among other things most likely. If possible I wanna do it all with the first paycheck and drive it to Bahrain. Of course that's if I get the job. If...
If not, I'll try to find more people to tutor. Summers coming up fast, and there's not gonna be any tutoring at all for a good 3 months. I NEED this job badly. Even though I promised myself I'd leave the country for Asia to teach if I don't find a job by then, that's a step I am very hesitant to take.
I hope I get the good news soon. This waiting, while it hasn't been too bad, is probably stressing me out. Bahrain and my life there is almost always on my mind: things I would do, things I could do, things I may or may not do. For once, I'm not really thinking about all the bad things I could do. I just wanna earn money, fix my car (lol?) and save up while I look for a teaching job or anything here in Kuwait. Or there. Or UAE.
I've yearned for living here in Kuwait for years, and it seemed so unreal when I moved back for the longest time. I finally feel at home in Khaitan, more so than in Abdullah Mubarak (and I lived there for what? 3 years?!) yet I have a feeling that even if I DO go to Bahrain, home will ALWAYS be Khaitan. I hope we DON'T move away from here. If I go, inshallah when I go, I plan on coming back, if even for a DAY, once every month.
Not gonna lie, I really want an opportunity to drive through Saudi to Bahrain. In my X5. That would be awesome!
