I told my mom about leaving school, looking for an office job, and getting TESOL certified. She was supportive. I was kind of surprised.

I'm starting an online TESOL program soon, I think. I have the choice to do a paced program or to do one that would go at my own speed, so now I'm deciding between those two options. Everything would be online except for one week of teaching, which, honestly, should be a breeze. With the TESOL certification, my qualifications will be ridiculously good and I should have no trouble getting a job anywhere.

I'm still talking to H--. I suggested we talk on Skype, and I heard from him today by email and he's into it. He also sent me a list of some ESL schools in Japan. So, umm... what's gonna happen? We're both being indirect right now. I feel hesitant because if things were to continue down this path, we might both be making big decisions down the road.

But I remember how much he wished I could go with him two years ago, and I remember how much I wanted to go. Pretty much the only real obstacle in my mind was his marriage. Yes, that was an enormous obstacle. But he's not married anymore.

Hmm...

My best friend is calling this process "chess by mail."
