"We're going to miss you, but I feel like this is how life is always going to be with you -- airports." -my mom
On Monday I found out/decided I'm moving to Phnom Penh, Cambodia, for at least two months to teach piano lessons. I don't really know what else to say, although I guess this sudden announcement does warrant a bit of an explanation. A close friend of mine (from rugby and college) has some family friends who own a music school in Cambodia, and they needed some music teachers very last minute (why is another story). I'm not doing anything, nor is there anything I absolutely cannot miss in the next two months so... why not?
I can apparently extend my stay longer if I want, which I might do depending on how things are going. After I'm done I may travel around for for a bit. We shall see. I have to say I'm very excited to be moving abroad again*, and although the location is decidedly more challenging, I'm excited about the relative freedom the opportunity affords me. (Stay an extra month? Ok. Done working? Go blow all my money SCUBA diving in Indonesia! Or go see India. Or something.)
Moral of the story: I'm REALLY glad my parents made me take piano lessons when I was a kid. And sometimes life changes very, very quickly.
*The first time was Scotland, for my Junior year abroad. Very different. (But still, how exciting is it that I get to say "moving abroad again"?)
