So, it was a wise move to lay low for a few days. The dust has definitely settled, and, the truth is, we aren't quite sure how we feel. We're very pleased to have CELTA done, and we are excited about our many prospects. To have our lives totally free and open, though, is surprisingly disconcerting. We find ourselves unsure what to do with our time while we prepare for England and teaching afterwards. We feel a bit in limbo. We aren't complaining at all. We recognize how fortunate we are to be in such a position, and we truly are grateful. It is strange, though, to go from a very set routine to a very intense course (and routine) to the wide open land of possibility. At the moment, Taiwan is the country we lean to for teaching. Many opportunities, a hidden gem of a land, and a great location to see more of Asia. Our emotions around the situation, though, are causing us to second and third guess most of our choices at the moment, so that very well may change (or not). We are dotting 'i-s' and crossing 't-s' regarding leaving the condo and our lives here... still looking at various options and making decisions. We have signed up for some works shifts to make sure we can get through our time in England and the in-between stages before teaching. Most of the big stuff, though, is taken care of. Whatever our feelings, some definite decisions will be made shortly as we plan to apply for teaching positions before we leave for England. So... there will be a plan beyond the next 3 months whether or not our emotions are ready for it :-). We are confused and excited and unsure and grateful... and we believe this will eventually add up to something pretty cool. Stay tuned!
