Ugh. I've been laying low lately because I feel like every little thing has the potential to make me mildly pissed off and no one really needs to listen to that.
Still trying to catch up on fic-reading and comment-leaving, still trying to get back into the swing of writing things. Only, I keep guilting myself every time I try to work on something because I get irked for not finishing anything original.
However, I really think I want to teach in Korea. I've been reading up on the pros and cons, and it's got some of the best deals in Asia, which is where the demand for English teachers is highest. Tomorrow, I'm going to talk to the registrar at my university about getting a few transcripts mailed over so I can get them notarized; I also need to see if my current criminal background check is applicable or if I'll need to have a new one done. Then I get everything mailed off to my school of choice and wait for my visa to get processed.
Thing is, I can't not work while I'm going through all this, so I'm poking around for something to tide me over. I've barely been back in the country a week, and I've already got cabin fever from staying at my mother's and not having a job. I've never not had a job--even when I was starting a new one, it was always the day after I finished up with the previous one. Productivity has to happen.
I really am excited about Korea. A little nervous, but mostly just glad for a chance to travel and teach. I hope everything works out.
