So I went

 So I went and dropped some money on something I've been thinking about obtaining for a while, and so now I signed up for a 120-hour TEFL online program to get certified. This came after getting an interview for teaching English abroad, and I realized that if I really want to distinguished myself from other applicants (and especially ones whose superficial qualifications would get their foot in the door with greater oomph than me), getting certified would definitely help. 

As well as bolstering my resume in other teaching applications too. 

What i sometimes don't get is what the outrageous price differences are if I chose to sign up for TEFL through like University of Toronto and whatnot, but sometimes I gotta bite the bullet and just try out this non-scammy looking website since many English programs in non-English speaking countries allow some pretty sketchy candidates anyway. 

I passed....

I passed my CBEST test for becoming a substitute/prospective teacher in California! Time to find the jobs that need that requirement and hope for more opportunities to get the hell out of SB.

Also so been thinking very keenly about doing some solo travel for the winter holidays, if it turns out I have time for that. Been thinking of going out of state like in Seattle or maybe Portland for it. Or I guess, pass out more resumes in the Bay.

ah haha I'm going nuts from job hunting.
