So, I really might be moving away in the next few weeks. The thought of that seems so unreal. I mean, it wouldn't be REALLY moving away for two reasons: 1, I know the place to which I'd most likely be going so well, and it's really a second home, complete with friends and the whole nine, 2, I know it (probably) won't be permanent, because I have to come back up for school beginning soon. I remember as a kid and teenager, the thought of moving to the Caribbean would have been a dream come true. Now, it's a dream come true, but in a different way. Now there's all the adult reality and baggage that come along with it, like money, bills, picking and choosing, realizing you can't have it all, etc. But, I'm ready, and excited. I have to make my final decision as to whether or not I'm going to take the job, but I'm leaning toward going for it. And the great part about taking a job as a teacher is you have a lot of time off relatively speaking. So, I will have a good 2.5 months to spend in some of my beloved locations, touring, researching, etc. Oh, Life, you're really a roller coaster, but I like roller coasters enough, so I'll keep riding...(I'm now realizing I have so much I could address in this journal, so I will probably get to at least some of it in the near future).
