Status Report

Not much new going on aside from classes. I did fill out my tax return and am waiting for my refund now. I have an idea of what I’d like to do with it, if I can. A new camera if possible. Mom keeps saying we’re going to get the car worked on soon, but nothing has happened yet. Our main issue is that since we only have one car, we have no way of getting back home once we drop it off at the repair place. I’m a little tired of being in a holding pattern in regards to this since I have other things I could do, but time will tell I guess.

I have been looking into the idea of possibly applying to be a librarian at an International School overseas somewhere. Granted, I still have a few things to do before I can even qualify, like finish my last two semesters of school, graduate, become certified – which involves taking, and passing, the PRAXIS Exam *sobs*--, and doing an oral presentation. But, I figured it’d be a way to broaden my employment options as well as a chance to go overseas. Ideally I’d like to go to France, Japan or the UK. I looked and saw that there are plenty of International Schools in all three locations. The plus side is that the school will pay for travel expenses and the schools teach in English. Some of the larger ones even have TWO libraries. The minus side is that it can be kinda scary and there might not be any openings available. Nothing is definite and I’d like to find something local if at all possible, but the intrigue is there. A kind of “What if?” scenario.

The ‘scarf’ I’m knitting will most likely not be a scarf given the amount of yarn I have, but it won’t be a total bust since it’ll be practice. I did look through the books I bought and I never realized how much math is involved in knitting patterns. I’ll definitely be keeping things simple for a while.
Signing off for now. Hopefully, there will be more to report on later on at some point.
