Well, I've almost reached my goal.
I'm flying to Florence on February 26th. I'll be staying until I find a job in Asia which is something that is almost settled.
I've sent out mass mailings of my CV and picture, and got back a couple of dozen responses. Added to that, I've got my dad asking around for me to his buddies from Hong Kong.
The next phase of the plan is that after a year or two teaching, I hope to have saved up enough money to go to Japan and study Japanese. I've asked around to friends who work in Japanese Universities, and it's possible to get a student visa AND a part-time working visa for teachers with 2+ yrs of experience. Which is what I would have at that point. Fingers crossed!!!!
Apart from that, it's been business as usual. Listening to too much M-Flo and Dragon Ash, going out 3-4 times a week, sorta working under the table in an attempt to get as much money in my pocket before going to Italy and...I got a new laptop!
Yes! After 3 years with my crappy hand-me-down laptop that dad gave me (and which just recently celebrated its 13th year in existence) he and my mother combined my birthday and christmas gifts together and got me the new acer travelmate 5720 that has a FINGERPRINT SCANNER!
DUDES! I have to scan my finger to turn it on! I scan my finger to sign into my email! IT'S AWESOME. Yes, I am a huge geek. BUT! It has worldwide wifi compatibility and a webcam+mic embedded in the screen! So I'll be able to keep in touch with everyone in a realtime way.
Only a few weeks left!
woo congratuations buddy! (again)
ReplyDeleteI thought you got the job? or u just did the interview then... ?
Oh and it looks like my mtl trip is actually gonna happen in the summer again most likely.
We'll be doing Niagara Falls instead =)
Too bad i wont get to see u before you leave, but it's not like we're ever out of touch when u think about it.
Thanks dude! I did for another firm but I decided not to take it as it wasn't in a school. More money but working with suits all day... I've had enough office experience thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteThat's ok. We talk every week or so, and now it'll just be a little farther away ^_^

ReplyDeleteIt sounds cool having a fingerprint scanner but remember to take extra care when grating cheese.
