27 Juli - The job hunt begins

They were unable to hold my position at the University because it would put too much strain on my co-workers. As far as I know they still haven't filled the position and my boss would give it back to me if it is still open when I return, but I am taking this opportunity to move into something better. I liked my job, but there wasn't a lot of room for growth and and with the completion of my Masters, I would have wanted to move on anyway. So now I am looking for work so that when I return I won't be without a job and completely broke because I spent all my savings while I am here. All my serious jobs have been in the University setting, which I am very comfortable with. I like working for a purpose and not just trying to just find the cheapest and fastest way. So, I've been scoping jobs on the University sites. I might also look into work with a hospital if their research foundations are strong. I don't think I could see myself in the corporate world though.

This afternoon was back to Capoeira. It was GuGu's last day here and we did a lot of drills to put the acrobatics and defensive techniques together. My entire body was so sore from all the training and walking around yesterday that I felt like I could barely move.. the thick air did not help, but we made it through and said our goodbyes.
