I did much the same thing - and I have NEVER regretted it for one second, honestly! I wasn't bored as such - just fed up with working for others and well, actually I was a bit bored of seeing the same old farts and listening to them moaning about the same old things and different students every year all thinking they were different and quirky but all the same as the ones we had the previous year.<BR/><BR/>So yeah - embrace your freedom and run with your ideas. I have every faith in you. <BR/><BR/>And there's always teaching to fall back on . . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-79663595516403406832009-03-17T23:06:00.000+00:002009-03-17T23:06:00.000+00:00I have started at my local gym, pumping iron and l...I have started at my local gym, pumping iron and lifting weights.

Probably, but worth a try eh!<BR/><BR/>Grump - Yeah Lonely Planet, travel magazines like Conde Nast, or when you open the broadsheet newspapers on a weekend and all the supplements fall out, full of beautiful pictures and articles where some lucky bugger has been paid to go out to a hotel, resort or country, try everything out then write about it.

It leaves you the time and, more importantly, cash to follow more interesting pursuits. But I disagree with you. Leaving that zone sounds like a HUGE step.
