I am happy to announce that on 21 September, I received my first dosage of the Pfizer vaccine at a Walmart grocery store. Yesterday, 13 October, I received my second dosage at the same location just after 3:50 pm. So far, the area on my right arm where I received the shot yesterday is sore like with the previous shot. A dear friend of mine who had received the second dosage told me to prepare for a day of misery; lots of people get a fever, apparently. So far so good in my case. Hmm. Now that I take time to notice it, I do feel a little achy all over at the moment. I am proud of my federal government for funding the vaccine and making it possible for everyone to receive it regardless of ability to pay.
In other news, on 5 October, I went to a courthouse for a new passport appointment. I submitted my application for a new passport along with my birth certificate, a photocopy of my birth certificate, and photocopies of the front and back of my drivers license. I also had to show the lady there my drivers license, which was given back to me, and, for a fee of $12, she took my photo on-site so that my passport photo would be up to standard. Before making payments, I had to raise my right hand and swear truthfully about a couple of things, which I did. So, if everything works out, I should have my very first US Passport by early January 2022. I am getting a passport book rather than a passport card, by the way. With a passport book, I can travel to more than Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean Islands. I wonder if other countries have a distinction between passport books and cards.
Now, I need to start emailing certain kinds of schools in Asian countries that I am interested in working in. I want to teach English in Asian countries and immerse myself in the cultures. The bachelor's degree that I hold will make it possible. Have any of you taught abroad?
