It's been a while since my last posting.
I applied to teach English with Disney in China. I got accepted and even accepted a contract. I just declined the position saying that mom and my family needed me.
I must wait for my recruiter's response. Part of me hopes that she will say that I must continue with the application anyway. All that I want to do is to keep on traveling and living abroad. I have found a new purpose in teaching French, but Upward Bound doesn't always need me.
::Sigh:: I feel like my life is over...
I hate that mom is so mentally vexed. Talk about a horrible combination of desire, reality and consequence of events. I may just need to wait and be patient, but it kills me at times.
At least I made a new friend in Holly. She's from Denver. She lives off Booth Road. She's 38, which surprised me. I thought she would be around my age. She works at a costume studio for film. She can also design and make dresses. I suppose that she's a seamstress or a costume designer.
Her roommate was born in the Bronx. The roommate drove us from the Blue Moon Pizza restaurant yesterday night back to our neighborhood. She's pretty nice.
Back to my bigger malaise... I just thought about buying a car! AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate growing up! Fuck! I hate living in a super car-centric place! I hate it!
Please, God, help my mother to be tremendously better by the summer of 2014! I really want to go abroad again and live elsewhere! Please, Lord, don't trap me in Georgia!
I had an interview yesterday to be the Reference Librarian at the Art Institute of Atlanta in Decatur. I would like the job and I think that I will do well with the challenge of managing their library. I wonder why the current librarian wants to leave?
Georgia Perimeter College in Decatur also contacted me for a Reference Librarian position, but it's an hourly position. I'm debating if I should not accept it? I think that I could benefit from upward mobility. I don't know if Upward Bound can offer that. Perhaps, the wicked commute to Decatur will be worth it if I can count on advancing up the library ladder.
Upward Bound is better for me for now because the commute is less taxing upon me and the atmosphere of the job is less demanding. However, today I had no student that wanted help with French. Perhaps I should accept the offer from GPC. I really wish that I could work that job in the morning, but the hours are in conflict. I'll call the supervisor tomorrow to give her a decision.
As for cars, I like the Nissan Leaf, which is all electric, but I like that the Honda Insight can take gasoline and thus travel farther than the Leaf. I ask myself many philosophical questions, one of which is... should I buy a car? My feeling is NO! I want to be an international traveler! I don't want a bloody car! Also I believe too much in living green and having a car is not a part of that scheme. Perhaps I shall lease a car if I end up having enough money.
OH... GOD! I pray that I am not making the wrong choice in turning down Disney English! I have to be confident that this is the right choice. I've been feeling it in my heart that it is since Monday. Mom has been approved for receiving Social Security benefits, thank God! Thus, with this money, we'll be able to pay the mortgage and the bills. This is our miracle before Christmas! It also means that I don't really need to go abroad to work. I do witness how much mom needs me and that I help her, so I'll stay home and be more comfortable, as much as it makes me feel bored at times.
