Where to start?
I've missed LitNet badly...but I've been going through a lot.
I'm in Puerto Rico, and had started a Master's program in English Literature, but am no longer planning on sticking with the program. I've discovered just how much growing I have yet to do, and have realized that a lot of that growing needs to be done by spending time with my family, of which I have none here in PR.
So, it's back home for me.
I also realize that I really, really need to start writing. Like, NOW, or else I just might never do it...and that would make me sad. So...I'm going to go home, and I am going to start writing. I'll have to find a source of income in the time being, of course, and hopefully I will find something that doesn't drive me as crazy as teaching did.
I can't handle that kind of insanity right now. Call me selfish, but I need to get *my* stuff together before I can hope to teach teens how to get *their* stuff together.
...even though they really, really need teachers back home.
I'll figure it out when I get there.
In the meantime, I'm lying back, enjoying Puerto Rican culture, meeting new people, trying new things, and considering this a vacation before going home to start working on, well, life.
Miss you all!
