Japan?

I think I''ve definitely been home too much for far too long!

I've been eating more, idling way to much time away and of course sleeping such odd hours that my days get out of sorts. Of course in between all this random madness, I'm shooting at HYPE Tv, attending TEENage Observer meetings and events and project planning.

Adding to this mix is of course the infamous job hunt. While on this continuous hunt, I came across an ad for a one year contract to teach English to students in Japan. The first thing that came to mind was: 'OMG yes! This sounds really cool!

Then I was slowly reminded about a few things; I know not a word in Japanese, I'm a very picky eater, I get depressed and lonely if I'm alone and away from loved ones for too long, and of course the fact that there is still that tsunami and radioactive scare in the back of my mind.

At that point I really began to think about it all. Obviously it would be an amazing travel experience, and why would I not want international work experience......but......am I really cut out for this kind of thing?

From here, a fellow educator (pageant finalist and believer-in-Jamaican-development) came to mind. She had travelled to Thailand for a similar experience and seemed to have had a good experience. So of course I'll be bombarding her with my millions of questions about it all....even if she didn't go to the same country!

To be honest though, I have always wanted to travel to other parts of the world, and after meeting so many amazing ladies from across the globe earlier this year, I've felt event more motivated to get on that plane! I'll admit, the experience sounds good, but going alone seems a bit strange to me.

I have some time for me and my loved ones to think it all through. And of course I say loved ones because my mother dearest and my boyfriend would probably not be too ecstatic about me being away for a year....but I know they would be extremely excited about the experience and opportunities!

Got lots to think about........
