There's no such thing as a black angel...

I'm not a racist and once again I've changed my mind regarding a major life decision. This week's plan is to go to Korea and teach English for a year. I've made it to Alberta and now I'm just about ready to leave. I don't really know if I wanna leave this place or if I'm just not ready to take a real teaching job here in good ol' Canada.

There are a few factors pulling me away from here. First of all, Calgary is way too expensive. It's okay right now because we have a sweet deal on our house because the owner is trying to sell so we have to put up with real estate agents showing the house and renovations. But when I move out of this place my living expenses are going to triple because not only is our rent dirt cheap in this house, but our phone, internet, electricity and every other bill is included in the rent.

Secondly, I don't want to teach in a little shithole of a community up North somewhere. I just sent an e-mail to turn down a job in Red Earth Creek by Loon Lake (like anyone knows where that is) and to be honest, I'm not sure if it was a great decision or not. I just know that a year up there would probably be too long, and they don't have broadband in people homes, just at the school. I need high speed internet. I hope they have it in my apartment in Korea. Time will only tell if I'm doing the right thing.

Third(ly), I was considering staying in the Calgary area and substituting in September. After I did some intensive pondering, I decided that I wouldn't make enough money to pay off my student debt, rent, pay for car insurance, etc. because Calgary is way too fuckin' expensive.

So after I thought over the above three circumstances, I sent an application to a company that recruits teachers. I talked to them last night and I have a week to decide whether I want to teach in a public school or a private one in Korea. If anyone reads this and they have any advice, please share it with me. Even this decision is making my little brain hurt.

And oh yeah, by the way, "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BLACK ANGEL."

(I'm not a racist and this was nothing to do with anything that most people will understand. It's an inside joke from a night when things kinda lost control. Once again, I AM NOT A RACIST, well, that is unless you consider Muslim Extremists a race. Someday I may explain the circumstances regarding these angels here on the ol' blog, but not today.)
