Stuff that has been going on since finishing the course.

So I've finished the course about a month ago and it's been a busy four weeks since then but, not really with TEFL stuff. Well mostly busy for the first week I gave myself a well deserved break.

There's so much I have to sort out I don't know where to begin.

I help out with my granny, I told her I was looking at a job in Russia(Siberia), she even wrote down Siberia why I don't know but I don't think the family will be happy if I go but I wasn't going to tell most of them until after I got the job! I kind of want to say here until spring because the last few winters Nanny has found it difficult.

I'm off to Brussels for a few days at the start of June, the trouble trying to sort that out was unreal and we don't even need visas for it! We just left it until last minute and it was a complete rush to get it all done but hotel and flights are sorted, although we're not to sure how to get from the airport to the hotel and back in the early hours.

Then there's my rent, so broke now, I'm not working so I'm on social welfare I have to sort out the rent allowance and if I can't sort that out I have to move, where I don't know but it'll be cheap.

I've been 'trying' to clean up by trying I mean looking at what I have to do and then going online.

I've to figure out what to do with my three cats for when I go off (brussels and on my tefl adventure) family can't really take them in, I could ask a friend to mind them but that might be a bit much to ask of a friend, and she has cats of her own

I've had a crap load of bills to pay off and I still owe money!

Then there's my health, my thyroid hormone is a bit off and I've no idea why. T3 + T4 are normal it's just the TSH so my thyroid is working but there's something else that's not. Which is another reason I want to leave it a few months until I start a TEFL job, my energy levels can drop quite a bit at the moment so I want to start feeling better before I head off.

As well as that it's my stepsisters(seems odd to say that) 18th birthday party tomorrow and my fathers the friday after that and I have no money for either. I barely have enough money for Brussels and I'm not going to have enough money for rent this month. I also went into the bank and asked about a loan to start a job abroad and it's a plain no! If it was in Ireland grand but anywhere else no.

My granny also bought me a lotto ticket which was on last night and one for the euro millions, if I win a scratchcard I'll be happy.

I've also been looking for the best place to tefl and save money, I was thinking South Korea since with most jobs airfare is paid for(or part paid) and they'll sort accommodation and I hear it's easy enough to save money there.

Just thought of another thing that's been going through my head, I've an ordinary degree that's from an institute of technology, it's a university level but the ordinary degree is three years. I'm going to apply for which ever jobs and hope for the best.
