hmm a new start

well, this is a new phase of life for me. new town, new job. sounds like I should be on a tv drama series. speaking of which, I need to watch less tv. I guess its what working people do since there is no homework to be done. Well, I could do work and be productive but usually I'm too tired and sick of work to actually be productive. So, watching tv it is. Its sad - i'm just too tired at the end of the day to do much else. Oh I could do shopping but that wears out my wallet and me. Both of which are not good.

anyway, so this blog had a point. wait no not really. I guess the point is that this is a new phase of life for me and it should be interesting to see what it reveals.

I was asked yesterday in the car when we were driving back from san fran what I planned to do after TFA. I spouted off a couple of thoughts, none of which I have really considered but were rather mere dreams, but the question just stroke me. It reminded me of job interviews when they ask, where do you see yourself in five years. How do you answer that question correctly in a job interview anyway? I never found out - maybe thats why I didn't get a job in DC, cause I didn't have the right answer to that question for those people there. I'm not complaining - i'm happy to be here (most days, minus the teaching part haha) but there is always the what if factor. I don't see myself staying in the bay after two years but who knows. maybe I will marry rich and live contently :0) jk, I wouldn't be content with that. I need to be in africa.

so, I'm debating if I want to go on a trip next summer. I'm just not sure if I want to save up the money to do it. Abbey is in the UK for grad school and really wants me to visit - thats a pretty tempting offer. The Africa itch is still here though. Well, I was thinking, if things worked out in two years and something opened up for me to move abroad I could get some money for my car which with my savings plan might end up paying off all of my AU loans (blaghhh). listen to me, I sound like a financial specialist working on wall street.

so, the point is, I've yet to find my home. I don't think its here though, but it is kind of fun :0) okeydoke, well maybe sleep will hit me now and the week will never hit.
