There's days where I want to stay in bed all morning, curled around a coffee and glued to TLC. There's days though, just occasionally, where I like to get up at 7:30 and take a shower and pack a tupperware with salad and hop on the subway. Everyone has their eyes closed and their chins on their chests. The heater's warm and the windows are cold and I like to listen to pretentious indie bands that just seem to fit. The beauty of North York at such an hour is the mish-mesh of cultures and colours going to work. I like to think that maybe this is reaching the pinnacle of our civilization - all races, all religions, all ages, just sitting on the 39 Finch East, eyes closed, purses and bags clutched on laps. It's nice, it's unifying. I like knowing I'm part of something bigger.
I got an e-mail today from my TESL training asking me to consider initiating placement. I have narrowed down my three top countries: China, Japan, and Tibet. My first city choices are definitely Shanghai, followed closely by Beijing and Qingdao, but I wouldn't mind Lhasa or Tokyo - well, anywhere in Japan, really. Or Thailand. See, I'm utterly indecisive. The site mentioned summer camps in China. That could be interesting, doing a 3 month stint there then packing off elsewhere for either a six-month or one-year contract. I love that I actually have a choice, it's so exciting.
On the internship front, everything is going great. I definitely want to make an eventual career out of event planning and public relations. It's fun, it's creative, and the people are wonderfully stressed and motivated.
And now for a little game called 'Find Danielle A Place To Live In Toronto For The First Week of May.'
