Grain Waves are oh so tasty.
Anyways, I've been doing a lot of think about next year. I know it's a bit early for that, and there's still so much to do this year to be considering next year. But hey, I'm a daydreamer.
One thing, well actually, two things are dominating my thoughts. Not so much things, but choices. Two very clear paths, and one choice to make.
....I feel wierd blogging. These are my thoughts, some pretty personal, and at times I feel like I shouldn't broadcast them. Sometimes I don't want to share what's in my head, but today I'm in a sharing mood.
So yes, choices. There are two distinct paths I know I want to take.
Study, and Travel.
Which one?
I've been keen on travel for yonks. I went to America almost two years ago and I'm hankering to travel since. But I'd like to travel and work. So I've decided it would be fantastic to use the experience from my current job (motel) and work on a cruiseliner. I get to see the world and get paid. No paying for board or food, and I don't need a car so no fuel. But I could imagine it would be hard work. But eh, I've worked hard for the past year, I'm used to it. Heck, I did graveyard shifts. So yes..VERY keen to give it a shot. And when I come back, whatever I choose to do next, I have some decent money in the bank to acheive it.
However, I'm also very keen to start study, as I'm pretty certain in what I want out of a career. I've already studied Disability Work. I want to continue but venture into Education. I love children and decided that I would enjoy teaching Kindergarten. Yes, a big burly man like me teaching kindie! Wierd, huh? But yeah, it would be just awesome. Kids just ooze the joy of the Lord. But if I study I think I wouldn't get a chance to travel for a long time.
But then, if I went away, I'll miss out on certain things. I'm keen on a lady, I'm not saying who, so if I leave for at least 6 months, I'm afraid she might get snapped up while I am away.
Ugh, you can see that I have a few things tugging at my head.
I'm just trying my best to be a man and a follower of God, and I know that I will take the right steps if I seek Him and His will. Easier said than done.
But all in all, I'm excited about next year, I really am. This year was great, but it was also a very painful, hard year to trod through. Next year things are going to really open up, I can feel God's waiting to throw open some curtains to reveal things that never occured to me.
We'll see.

School isn't going anywhere. It will be there when you leave and then when you return. However, your youth will pass you by before you know it so what better time to travel than when you're YOUNG AND SINGLE!?
ReplyDeleteThat said, you can go to school AND work AND see the world all at the same time; do both school and work part time and then, when school's out for holidays, go on a Contiki tour somewhere.
Another thing to consider is that if you just focus on school, get your degree and then a full-time teaching position you will be in a much more stable situation financially to fun trips during school holidays. That's the cool thing about being a teacher; a lot of time off. ;)
As far as the girl is concerned, Chris's parents met right before his Dad was going on travels to Europe for a year and his mom was going to America. A year later they still came together again after only spending 2 weeks together before their travels and now they have been married 20 years. When I met Chris, it took me a year before we could be together face to face and I STILL waited for him. The moral of the story is: If it's meant to be, it will happen no matter how many obstacles you throw in the way. If you want this girl, take the initiative before someone else does.
Yo, thanks man.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm pretty sure I want to travel first. At least for 6 months on a cruiseliner I reckon. Fun times!
Well the girl situation is complex, I'll fill you in if we ever get the time.
I'm just pretty chilled right now about things. I'll study when I get back. Or I might stay in some country I like. Or even find romance on a distant shore.
I'm just excited about next year.
