Not long now

Three weeks from today I will be on a plane to England...How on earth did that happen?! I am incredibly excited after reading up on Batam and trying to imagine myself living life Indonesian style! living in indonesia
I have realised though how crazy it is that my plan is to arrive in Batam on Sunday and start work Monday! Yeah, didn't really think that through ;) Might try to arrive a day earlier if possible.

I know this blog isn't all that interesting right now, but I hope to write more interesting entries once I am in Batam. So, if you are reading this, please keep reading and consider "following" me (thanks Nat and Tim!) so that I know I'm not just talking to myself!

    It's unsettling isn't it.. typing without really knowing if anyone's actually taking the time to read it.
    I hope the next couple of weeks are great - enjoy Deutschland. She's treated you (and me well). Send her my love.

Patience

This week turned out to be a great week for me, but it didn't start off so well. On Sunday night I had a serious case of the blues after a previous hellish week. I felt totally miserable at the thought of going to work, and bitter that I had no choice in the matter. When Monday morning came around, I was greeted by the discovery of more mouse excrement in my work space, followed later that day by the mouse itself, which has decided my desk should be used as a toilet rather than a place to store school supplies and student work. Last week, when I first noticed a few droppings on my desk, when said droppings were not cleaned up properly, and when I then couldn't even wash my hands due to the absence of running water at school, it would be very accurate to say that I lost my patience. Last week I also lost my patience several times during teaching, which was both exhausting and frustrating. Hence the topic of this entry. The limits of my patience have been severely tested recentl...

Time to go!

Isn't it always the way, that the times really worthy of being recorded, written about or reflected upon, are the times when it's really hard to find the time? I have been home visiting family and friends, frantically trying to see everyone and also get last minute but very important things taken care of. Despite the stress of being such a busy bee, I have loved every minute of being here and catching up with the people I love. It is a confusing state I find myself in, feeling so sad to be going so far away from home, yet still wanting to do it, needing to in fact. Tomorrow I travel to see a dear friend (I'd say that even if she wasn't driving me to the airport) and her far too adorable son. On wednesday I fly, by thursday afternoon I'll be in Singapore, and on saturday I will arrive in Batam. Let the traveling commence!
