Red Star Rising
So before I lull myself into stagnation, various things are happening so that I stay on my tippy toes. I sent in my application to join the Ministry of Education about two days back, and I suppose I am serious about becoming a teacher.
Trust me, this decision wasn’t an easy or popular one, but it sits well with my soul.. which I suppose makes it that much easier. Free market capitalism isn’t for everyone, and it isn’t for me. I think with my world views, personality, and hopefully my workable strengths, I’m more suited for a career in service to the public. I know there are plenty of teachers around, but in my social circle, I seem to be a bit of an exception, much less intending to move from private sector work into the public sector. Intending to move from the media industry into the educational industry.
But apart from sending my application in, it’s beyond me now. I’m just waiting to see if the other side will reciprocate my intentions.. relationship advice from day 1.
I’m running out of money and my little sojourn to settle my traffic offence from August will finally take place at the end of November, one day after I play for the Anglican Diocese’s Centenary Service. On top of that, I’m doing remedial training, because I’m not in ripe physical condition, and the Army thinks I could be doing better. Conscription woes. Well, this is still a pretty worrying and busy November even without a job, so maybe I’m glad I don’t have one for the moment.
I just hope something shows me that I’m on the path I’m supposed to be taking. Is that too much to ask for?
