The school year ended on July 22 and for the last week and a half I have been bored out of my mind. I could never do the stay at home thing. I'm a go-go-go person and having all this spare time is driving me mad.
With all of this time off I have managed to accomplish a few things and procrastinate others. I sent off a request to my board to stay here longer. Still waiting to hear back which is quite annoying because I can't change my flight until I know how long I can have off. That also means I have to wait to decide how long I'm going to stay here. I have no intention in losing my coveted Canadian teaching job but would still like to continue this adventure. In the meantime, I have applied to a bajillion temp jobs here so that I have something to do during August (and some cash flow). No luck as of yet which is quite frustrating. Why I can't get a simple temp admin job when I have two degrees is beyond me. Fingers crossed that something will turn up soon!
Since I have no job, no money, and no return date to Canada clearly the best thing for me to do is research my next travel adventure. **please note my sarcasm for those who don't know me well enough to spot it** I may have caused my head to spin a few times as my travel ideas/plans start to spiral out of control. It really does not help when Groupon and Travelzoo send me deals on various trips. I start thinking about going to Italy which spirals into Greece, then a sailing trip, then Eastern Europe, then all of Europe, then India (I blame Groupon for that jump of continents in my thought process). I've come back down to earth a tad and have made tentative plans for the following trips: Berlin (end of August), Oktoberfest (end of September) and Italy (half term break in October).
Unfortunately, until I get word back from the board, a temp job, or win the lottery I will spend my time sitting around at home. I swear I will lose another five pounds just from sweating it out here and my attempts at working out at home or long walks around the neighbourhood. It's great to have this lovely weather but I'd really like the humidity to take a hike. Stay tuned for my next exciting blog which will likely be about cleaning the kitchen if I don't find some free entertainment soon!
