Should I stay or should I go?

Stay: no job in London, Japanese will be a great skill for future jobs (If I get round to learning it), I’m having fun, can explore Asia while here, I like the school where I work, teaching can be fun…great highs! I enjoy teaching and think I am doing a good job.
Go: I don’t want to be a teacher in the future am I merely procrastinating? Great highs also equals big lows…damn the rowdy kids who can ruin a great day in an instant! Will I really ever learn Japanese? There are so many other countries I would love to live in, other languages I would much rather learn! It’s really a long way from home and so much is going on, I want to see my cousins’ babies, see my parents and see my sister go on placement and go to Uni. Lots of my friends here wil be leaving, will I be lonely? Will my experience here differ?
Too many questions, thoughts and feelings swirling around every time I think about signing the simple form which merely asks: Do you want to re-contract? Yes, No, Yes, No, Maybe, Don’t know, perhaps, what if?
Go with the flow, see what happens, go where the wind takes me or think, analyse, rationalise and conclude?
oh dear, what a big decision. for how long would the new contract be? where will you be happier? which place can give a better life?
satisfying work or family love?
whaaa! what a big decision.
good luck, anyway. i’m here.
hey babe,
what did you decide then?
let me know!
Hope you are happy, beside the choice.
