I find myself getting very comfortable with my situation here in NY, right now. I'm teaching my classes in the mornings and evenings and I have some nice free time in between where I probably should be exercising but find myself napping instead. I used to never be able to nap but now I'm an expert. When my morning session finishes I find myself smiling into the cold sheets in bed and not feeling a lick of guilt. Very nice.
The problem with all of this is that things will have to change at some point. The choices are that I enter into a Masters of Education program in the Fall of 2010 and eventually start teaching in a classroom setting or, here's the bad one, that I have to be uprooted from the city and go through the no job panic again. At that point I'd have to apply to Masters programs wherever I end up. That's obviously the worse choice.
The reason it's even a choice is because the BF has been laid off and jobs are scarce in his field. It's looking more and more like California has the most opportunities. I don't know if I can handle the ditzyness and superficiality of the West Coast. Hey, I was finally out of Miami! I don't need to enter that world again. I know, I know. Not everyone is like that over there. Still, it's definitely a different vibe than the East Coast vibe and I really like the one I'm feeling right now.
Anyhow, this is all pure speculation so I should just enjoy what I have right in this moment, right? Let's just see where this "Winding Road" takes me...
