I had the interview and got accepted. Things just got a lot more real! I have a strange mix of emotions surrounding it all right now. On the one hand, I’m really excited to have an adventure and try something different. None of my options for staying on the East Coast and supporting myself here even remotely excite me, but I’m sooooo excited about Thailand and doing something different. The interview itself made me wonder a little bit what I’m actually getting myself into and whether I’ll like teaching any more than I liked being stuck in a cubicle. It’s possible I’m one of those people who will never not dislike work of any kind, but I have to remain hopeful that that’s not actually the case. This is about the farthest departure from my last job imaginable. I think it’ll be great for me. Actually, I can’t wait to go. Although, it is very sad to be leaving NJ and the NYC area. I’m going to miss my roommates and this situation a lot. It’s been great these past couple of months. I’ve got to move on though and work towards something more in my life and this seems to be the next step in doing that.

I also went to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens today. It was a really fun place to visit!
