helenarasmussen87 I finally got my CV redone and I also applied to a school in Costa Rica and in Uruguay. No luck on the second one. Now I'm starting to debate whether I should apply to go up to NWT again. And i'm talking the ass end of nowhere in NWT. I am working on another international school profile while the search for positions ramps up. It's oddly still too early for the next year in some places and too late in other places. Huh. Anyways, I finally bit the bullet and just went for it in regards to the international and British schools overseas.
I am annoyed that they want pictures. But I know that it's to gauge exactly how white I am. I wish I was joking, to be honest. But many international schools sell with how many actual English (Aka white teachers) they have in the school. Or how marketable you are, I guess. I have to get a good picture taken so I can attach it. Gotta make sure the makeup is good and subtle.
Other than that, I've been sleeping early or late. I keep on waking up late in the night and yes, part of it is due to anxiety in regards to job hunting and also what will happen if I can't get out of here when the shit starts to hit the fan. Alberta is ass backwards and I want to have something steady just in case.
So that's it for the work search situation at the moment. It'll amp up, but it is a bit nerve-wracking, no matter how many times I go do it.
Anyhow. Yesterday I was running errands since I didn't want to just write in my journal that I was just waking up late and babysitting. As much as I love my niece, I admit that I need a bit more excitement in my life while I hang out here and there. Mum wanted me to send off a letter and buy more soup stock because winter has again set in for some odd reason. We are supposed to be having an early equinox, so I'm like what the hell dude. And that means more soup for dinner.
I don't mind it, since it gets me out of the house and I can walk and walk, which helps me get myself out of my head. Plus the sun was much needed, I love that the sun is out for longer and I can soak it up. Even for a few hours. Got home a bit late and we had a nice chat. Here's hoping that today is similarly action packed.
