Tutoring and the Future

4m0w7_cy I'm finally an English tutor!! In spring I took the prep class to be a tutor, and now this fall semester I've been doing all the paperwork and observations to be a tutor. So exciting!! Today is my first day being on the schedule, but I don't have any actual students yet lol. In three weeks I'll be working my seasonal job again, so I'm looking forward to that as well. I have some bills to pay before the end of the year, but with both of my incomes I do think that is possible. I'm still a bit bummed about moving away next fall, but it doesn't feel as hopeless as it once did. I guess I'm just stating the obvious right now.. I still do not have a clear idea of the path I want to take in the future.
I do think I will stay in California, maybe I will teach outside of the US a few times, you know before I die, it would be fun to say I've done that you know? But being an international teacher is no longer my goal. I want to be able to come back to a home. I don't want to be forced to be a nomad and get rid of all my possessions each time I move to a new country for work. I will probably keep all my belongings in a storage unit in the meantime though. Until I'm able to own a house. Another thing I would like is to own a cabin cruiser in the bay area. IDK!! I feel like that would be sooo fun!! Being able to take a day trip to SF or something and sleep in my lil boat~ By the time I want to do that, probably in 5-10 years, I'll have the means to do so. I mean there's a lot of schools in the bay so I don't think it would be overly difficult to find a job as a tutor or as a teacher, while living on my boat. When looking for a house though, I'm thinking somewhere between Grass Valley or Tahoe? I've always wanted to live in a cabin in the woods. I'd love to live like Ursula from Kiki's Delivery Service, but I cannot find any listings for homes like that near the ocean or within an hour's drive of the sea sadly.. That would be my ultimate dream.. Sigh </3..
There's also a marina 40 min away from my current job. It looks like a lot of the other tutors here (a community college) left to finish their degrees, then come back to work here full time? Maybe that is an option.. If I were to work here full time in the future, I'd look into the marina again. I mean currently It's an hour commute to my job from my home, so 40 min wouldn't be too crazy, also it's all back roads so who knows? I would like that to be my future, even if just temporary. Anyways, I'm starting to get peckish so I'll stop here for now. Much pondering to do!
