I'm doing well. I am having a little problem waking up though because I feel unmotivated to get up and face the day. However, once I wake up am fine. As for my job search, I looked over the material for the full-time teaching job and finally was able to decipher it. Hahahahahaa I was not happy with the material because it had too many mistakes but after correcting it, it is not impossible. I keep see-sawing about doing the demo lesson. But, I've finally thought I should go for it. It won't hurt me and might be a good experience. I received a part-time job and this has helped boost my confidence in my teaching abilities. I feel good about myself and look forward to doing the demo lesson. I teach at companies for the most part and would like to continue teaching at the corporate level. I am hoping to free-lance on my downtime. I am really happy that I'm doing what I love. I guess I am lucky. I did not feel this way before with my other jobs. I used to earn much more but was unhappy and really stressed. Now, I am earning less but feel satisfied. Life is not bad. What really makes me sad is the Las Vegas incident. It breaks my heart that so many people died. I live in Japan and it is unheard of here to have so many people killed by guns. May be America should do some research on gun violence and re-think their gun policies before more people get killed tragically by people who can obtain guns so easily. It is a tragedy beyond words that the 2nd amendment is upheld as a right but who said it is a right to take away another person's life as of its consequence? To live in fear of being shot by another is something that always bothered me while I was in the States. I can say that this fear is becoming even worse with every gun massacre that is occurring in the States. I almost got shot once by a angry person who did not make it in time to ride the bus. He shot at the bus and the bullet flew right above my head. It caused me much fear and made me stay inside at night. This was a long time ago in the States. Now, I would be afraid of walking down a unknown street in the day time. What is America becoming? I love America and hope that one day all can walk anywhere anytime in America without fear of being shot. Again, Las Vegas is a tragedy that leaves me in a depressed mood. How many gun tragedies must happen before Americans realize something has to be done to avert them? Ok, you say people kill people, not guns. America does not have the resources to pinpoint each and every person who is going to go berserk and kill people with guns as far as I can see. However, these gun tragedies are only giving more excuses for the government to monitor its citizens even more. If that is what people who want to bear arms want- a Big Brother Nation. I would like to have faith in the belief of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all. What happened to this belief? I feel only despair, not happiness. I sense death for those who have been killed. I feel a loss of freedom because of all of this. It is a sad day indeed.
