Settled down???
After almost of two months here in the elite America from the world (maybe with exception of China and the strong Euro countries), Susie and I are starting to get settled down. We did a few ‘bandage’ repairs on a few eye sore places around our home. I just started teaching ASL just two weeks ago at a local high school here. After the academic experience in Madagascar, I’ve been pondering whether I would like to teach in the future as a new career from my design career. I have to say that I’m bit burned out from doing the design stuff for a while, yet I don’t get the motivation to do the new design at this moment. Heck, I got myself a new Macbook Pro, and the Adobe Studio is waiting to be dissected by me. Yet, I haven’t been able to find the passion in it that I did back in the past years. Also, I have been rummaging through my belongings in the storage room and I kept getting the same question, “Why did I have this?” while my new friends at Madagascar aren’t able to get these luxuries that I got 10 years ago. Definitely, the trip to Africa has given me a humbling experience despite my addiction to globe-trotting experiences. So far, I think Madagascar journey has been a wonderful chapter, especially when my darling, Susie, has been going through some ‘hellish’ moments there. At this moment, with my usual I will just follow the path whatever I see in front of my eyes, though I do have the itch to escape out of America. But with the majority of foreign currencies going banging hard against our weak dollars, I’m just glad that I’m going to stay hermit in America for a while
This is such a jolly time to save $$$ for the education, family, and nature!
