The future, or more specifically my future, has been consuming my thoughts lately. After reading a friends lj about her future I've decided to type these thoughts down and get them out of my head.
It all started in November when I decided I wanted to be an English teacher. Not just any English teacher but a globe trotting one. I want to teach English in Japan mostly, and if I ever lose interest in Japan(yeah right) I can find some other interesting country to teach in. I remember when I first decided this I had about a two hour chat with my father about being a teacher in a foreign country. Actually the conversation started with me asking if I could be an exchange student over the summer and visit Japan, and turned into what I might want to be for the rest of my life. The reason I asked my dad is because that's what he dad for a while. He has lived in Africa teaching English, and also the Philippines(where he met my mother and had me). We mostly talked about college and the degrees I should get. I have for as long as I can remember always wanted a job that could give me the opportunity to travel. English teacher wasn't even anywhere close to what I was thinking at the time but know it seems like a good choice. Also since my dad has experience he can be a big help.
