It’s June. Time is flying by way quicker than the landscapes
beside me. I am taking a Train down to San Diego for a quick visit to our old
stomping grounds. I am hoping for a little fencing (after 2.5 years) and making
some good brews with my amazing friends at the Beat Attack Brew Shack ™.
It is a little bit of a trip to be on a train and online, but it’s
a wonderful way to travel; I don’t know why more people don’t do it. Anyway, some good news Chelsea decided on a
school to attend this fall. I would love to tell you but I’ll leave that for
her.
Right now I am feeling the pressure of readjustment. I have
spent the last two days looking for teaching jobs in the area we’re going to be
living and I am a little anxious. It’s been so long since I’ve applied to a job
so it’s been a bit of a challenge to get my mindset back into the classroom
rather than administration. I’ve been thinking of cover letters, classroom management
strategies, updating resumes, contacting references and so on. I’m missing the “Just
Now” attitude of Guyana and struggling to get my head around the industrial military
complex mentality of the United States; the societal pressure to do things now,
rather than just now. It’s good and it is expected. But I am missing Guyana
time, my hammock, and the leisure to just sit back a read a book. This too
shall pass, I know. But until then I have to get back to work.
PS. I love public transportation! For reals!
