Why I'm Leaving Uni After All (Hahaha!)
March 12th 2008 13:42
I tried to go back, but it was futile... I just couldn't deal with the sun-drenched students in their casual garb lugging themselves about campus, or the delapidating Fisher library or the construction, or getting to the city and having to breathe the air there. More than that, I couldn't deal with the air of intellectual stagnancy that accompanied all of these sites. So I'm done being a student. In Australia, at least. I know I've said it before, but I will not subject myself to another Australian tertiary institution. Hopefully the next time I think about studying it will be at the U of California, U of East Anglia, or U of East London. Though I can see myself teaching English overseas for a long time right now...
Yes, I've decided that TEFL is the way to go again... but where will I start out? Getting to and residing in Europe or Japan is quite costly, though these are my ideal working locations. Otherise, I can try China, or even Thailand, even though I'm not as keen on either. China is a bit scary with its human rights abuses, and Thailand is really impoverished. Both can get intolerably hot, and, in China, unbearably cold too. The thing is, I may be able to get to China quite easily if I am able to go to the Olympics with my dad's money this July... that would be a positive thing.
At any rate, before I can hop overseas I need to put up with whatever job I can find here, in Sydney, and it's not going to be pretty. There are reasons why I have refused to work in Australia before. I'll have to do it, though, out of necessity, as much as I'm enjoying lying around and being on the internet all day. I'm meeting with my work advisor tomorrow (well, later today) and she should help me trundle off in the right direction.
So, there it is: I am after money. I am thoroughly unmaterialistic and keep my expenditures as modest as possible. But I need to contend with the global marketplace now, think outside the financial box that I am part of.
