Jobs....

I'm now searching for jobs online and considering what to do after working in Martinique.  I'm even thinking of returning to South Korea to teach English but in high school!  Can you believe it, after what I went through with my co-teacher, Won Mi?  No way!

But, I have a better attitude towards life now and I've matured a lot since 2010 to 2011.  I think I would work much more effectively in South Korea if I'm hired a second time.

I still want to go to Haiti and to Honduras.  Both places still interest me.  I wonder if I made a mistake in not applying for the Louverture Cleary School?  Well, at least I still care to do something.

I learned today at the Kingdom Hall of Le Marin that JWs believe in giving as much as they can afford to their church.  They don't worry about given a precise percentage such as 10 percent.  I wasn't sure about that.  I thought that the 10 percent was important to give.  Jean-Roger said that it was necessary, but no more since the New Testament.  I'll have to think about it.  I intend to give money to Haiti, but I keep on hesitating, simply because I don't know what I shall do for work in the near future, thus I want to hold on to more money than usual.

I guess I'll figure it out later.  I passed the e portfolio course, thus I'm super ecstatic!   I also learned that an organization in association with AmeriCorps has a volunteer program in Haiti that starts in January.  I may apply for that.  Who knows?  I really don't know how to progress with my life except that I need to work to pay off my student loans and to have money for myself.  Traveling abroad by teaching English may still be my best opportunity.  I'll try to be patient, but that's difficult for me.

But I must make sure to take care of myself, keep my apartment in good shape too.

Until next time, maybe I'll figure out what to do later.

Last Month in Martinique

I have another four weeks in Martinique.  I think that I spent my time well here.  It's getting much hotter now.  It already feels like July in New York City or June in Georgia.

I was concerned about not going out much with the other assistants, but I'm glad that I focused on my studies.  I really needed to.  I always thought that eventually I would want to do the things that most people seemed to do for fun, but I see that I really like enjoy simplicity.  I like to watch movies, eat, use the Internet, experience nature, visit interesting places, go to museums and get to know people that I like.  That's all that I need really and that makes me happy.

Mom fell while in the shower and Andy helped her to get to the hospital.  I think that she must be OK now.  I wonder if I shouldn't stay home for a year and see how I feel about life.  I'm not sure of what to do now.  I applied to some jobs and volunteer positions.  I hope to be hired for something soon.

I'm learning about the Jehovah Witnesses through the Cassars, Jean Roger and Jacqueline.  I was wary of JWs and I still am, but they're quite kind.  Their teaching of the Bible is true... but I have my reservations.  I'll just listen to the Holy Ghost.

I'm looking forward to going home.  I think that the other assistants had a great time in Martinique.  I don't know if I will travel again.  Who knows?
