And We're Back...

So, it’s been more than a year since the last post, but the posts dwindled a year ago because…well, because nothing noteworthy seemed to be happening, and since I’m determined not to turn this into “my online space for self-reflection,” which seems more like “my online space for public, intellectual masturbation.”

But since things are starting to happen again, it seemed like as good a time as any to revive it. So, to recap:

I graduated from university, in English and Russian Lit, and soon after, left Canada. I took a combination of greyhound and Amtrak to Chicago, and stayed there for a few weeks, hanging out at Ambrosia Evanston, and talking to some possible employers in Krakow. I came down to North Carolina about a week ago, and started working remotely on Monday. On Saturday, I’ll be heading up to New York, and on Sunday, flying Aer Lingus from JFK to Krakow, by way of Dublin.

I’ve got one job in the bag there, teaching English over Skype, and another couple waiting for me upon arrival. And I’ve just begun teaching myself survival Polish, which will become full-fledged study once I arrive.

So, here I am, on the cusp, I suppose. This should be interesting.
