Anna Overseas

8/1/2005

My boss is going on vacation for two weeks (and kinda sorta not really leaving me in charge, because yes, I'll be in charge, but he's a control freak so anything he can possible do before he goes is being done. Like the rotation.), and I will have one day off this coming week (Thursday), and two as-yet-unspecified days off the following week (or so is the assumption, because someone has to come in from a different department to give me time off). I mention this because I've decided to do some daytrips, and I'm terribly excited.

I'm a bit torn on where to go, and I have to keep reminding myself that I'm here for a year, and most of these places have been around for a very long time, and aren't going anywhere. If I put off going to Saint Andrews till next month, it's not going to suddenly fall into the sea or be carried off by faeries.

One of the things that has really been throwing me in my life lately is the sheer amount of choices I have. I'm coming up on 30, and I feel like I have far more choices than I did when I graduated from high school. I tend to find myself paralyzed with too many options.

So, I'm not sure where I'm going to go, but I do know that I'm going. I've narrowed it down to either Stirling, St. Andrews, or Berwick-upon-Tweed to see Lindisfarne Abbey. Not that it really matters. What matters it that I can do any of them. *smile*

I'll be going to Paris later this month. I've already booked my three days off work for it. I am counting down the seconds, but trying to remind myself to live in the moment, and enjoy this place, right here.

{Wow, did that sound like it belonged in a greeting card. *grin*}

 mind the gap

A 20-something Canadian who used to teach English in China. There's lots in the archives about my experiences with teaching, with culture shock, and with my adventures in China. Occasionally it meanders into melancholy (part of the culture shock), which must be very dull to read, so you can skip that.

But right now, I'm back in Canada, and kinda determined to do something with the several thousand photos I took, as well as write more about China and other stuff.
