Well, I’m afraid when 16 weeks of material is packed into 2 weeks, it’s a bit more than I can handle. I’ll be withdrawing from the program on Monday. That will allow me to avoid having to pay tuition (and loans, since they’ve not been dispersed yet).
Am I bummed about this? Mmm…actually, I’m kind of relieved. I did have reasons for wanting to get out of the teaching field, and this program reminded me of that. It’s incredibly busy work to be a teacher. And while teaching seemed like it would allow me to have a life I wanted (with the ability to travel back to Japan and other countries, have a job that’s rewarding and secure, etc.), I think it was more of a cool idea, but not what I needed.
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I feel like I’m consciously and unconsciously moving in a direction that will suit what I need rather than what I want. I’m tired of doing things for myself. And I can’t focus on too many things at once.
Anyway, I’ve kind of been reeling today, but I am already looking at other options. Looks like I may have some on the horizon. We’ll see. All I know is everything before now has lead me to where I am, so I have no regrets about anything. And I know that I will find where I belong.
I’ll write again when I can.

I'm sorry to hear it. But things have a funny way of working out for the best...
I feel your pain (trying to figure out what comes next)...Too bad it didn't work out, but I am glad you tried and that you have figured that out. I know you have been going back and forth on this issue for a long time.
You should be proud of the fact that you did your best and went for it. Now you can work torwards the next great opportunity.
Good luck!
Thank you.
