1- My SO is really getting into the traveling. He's liking his job more and more every day as they start to give him more responsibility. Next week he'll be in Michigan, the week after that he'll go to Mexico and it's highly likely he'll have to go to Venezuela in another month or so. I tried to get him to take a few extra days to visit his family in Costa Rica after Mexico, but he decided against it. Hopefully another chance will come up soon!
2- I'm starting to rethink my career. I love, love, love teaching. But man it sucks a lot. I have freaking amazing days, and then I have such shitty ones. I've started thinking that I would love to work at the college level, in a study abroad office. I think I would rock the shit out of that job. I love traveling and I love convincing others to travel! Or I could also help international students who are in the USA studying. I looked into it briefly and all the nearby colleges (luckily there's quite a few in the area) don't have any openings. But the people who work there all have "international relations" or whatever degree. I'm sorry, but that's a BS degree. I wonder if they want you to have that to work there? My degree is in Biology, but I studied abroad, have traveled a good amount, have lived abroad, speak Spanish, and know the visa process pretty damn well. So yeah, I think I would be good at it and would love it. But, of course there's not going to be a lot of positions. Guess I'll keep on with teaching but also keep my eyes open
3- My liver has been taking a beating recently! My SO and I have been partying pretty hard recently. It's been great, really.
But it might be time to take it easy...4- Tomorrow is our two year wedding anniversary!! I shared this already, but my SO forgot about our anniversary and booked his travel leaving tomorrow. Oops!
I'm really not that upset. We "celebrated" already by going to the mountains two weeks ago. So I'm good!5- Honeymoon phase- that whole post had me thinking. It's hard for me to describe what I think the honeymoon phase is. I don't think we're there anymore since now he'll give me his WET gym clothes to wash and other gross things that don't need to be mentioned. But we still have a freaking blast together. Our relationship is great and I'm so glad we're together.
6- I'm already thinking about moving. I keep looking up openings in my SO's company but in Europe. Then I look for International Schools I could apply to. I love my hometown, but I also feel like it's not an adventure. I'm ready for our next adventure!
6.5- I get so homesick for Costa Rica. It's strange because there's days I am so glad to be home, and there's days I wonder why we ever left that tropical paradise. Especially jealous of all the beach pictures my friends keep posting. Damn them.
7- I want to learn another language. I think for the current global situation Portuguese is probably the best language to learn, but I'd still love to learn German or Italian. I have an okay base of German going and an even smaller base of Italian. I just need to figure shit out.
8- So now I'm rambling and I'm sleepy so it's nap time.
Have a great day!
