It has slowly dawned on me (and others in the group) that we only have two weeks left of our program. I find myself consistently checking a calendar to make sure that is accurate because it feels like we should have about a month left, but NO, I am almost finished with my program and halfway through my journey.

To put it lightly, that is whack.

And with the reality check of a timeline, small things of my former life have also been laying eggs in my happy nest of a Philippine utopia – I need to find a job.

The nice thing about craigslist is that I can check for jobs across the globe just as easily as if I were in Cleveland.

Job market isn’t looking too good.

I don’t think I want to process my unemployment status for another month. Come, say, August 25 when I have another 14 hour flight into Chicago, I’ll begin brainstorming a plan of survival.

Until then, utopia it is…
