Less than 4 months

The countdown is on. I officially have less than 4 months here in my city as an English teacher. It also means that I have less than 4 months to figure out what the heck I should be doing with my life.

Everyone around me seems to be as worried for me as I am about the whole thing. For the longest time, I will 50/50 about going home and moving on to China...but last week, I called home to talk to my family and ended up getting a 2 hr lecture by my eldest brother about various things in "life," mostly my future. The 2 hr conversation went in circles, but it involved the basic components of:

1.) I should stop "playing around" abroad. I've had my "fair share" when I studied abroad in Brazil and France, and now having spent 2 years in Japan.
2.) If I intend on eventually have a career in the US, I should quickly return to the US, build connections and start my career, rack up seniority points, get paid better.
3.) According to him, my Berkeley education should be worth gold and that I shouldn't be in any not-so-fulfilling positions.
4.) That money is important, and that I shouldn't let my interests be my only drive in considering my career/life choices.
5.) That I'm not getting any younger and my 20s and early 30s should be spent building a steady career and life because "time" ain't waiting for me.

I was glad that he told me, but there were parts where I nodded in agreement and there were other parts that I was just thinking..."are you for real?" or "you're the one to talk!"

Anyway, it seems like everyone has an opinion. In the true-me fashion, I will probably wait till the last minute to decide what to do.

I'll keep you posted! Actually, I'll keep you posted if I get internet again. Hahaha...
