Today was...


Fun
teaching a bunch of chatty, cheeky angels (added to the list of contradictions)

Funny
6yr old student: (said as she was hugging me) miss have a baby?
me: no, I just have a fat belly

7yr old student: why miss have hair like that? why you not have black hair like that? (points to friend's hair)
me: (with a sad face) I was born with this hair. I didn't get to choose.
student: (with great sympathy in her voice) Oh.


Nice
getting a free ojek ride

Very nice
drinking Indonesian shandies at Glashaus.

I love getting rid of stuff. I have already donated 7 bin bags of clothes and I'm not done! To use my Mum's terminology (and encouragement), I am taking a brutal approach to deciding what to take with me to Batam. If it's not essential and it doesn't have long-term sentimental value, it's got no chance. My goal is to take just one suitcase with me, so being brutal is the only way!

Where's your manners?

I've got the back to work blues after a week's holiday. After one hour back at work, I'd counted how many work days are left this year; approximately 87. I know that's actually not much, but right now it feels like a death sentence. I have no motivation to plan for teaching 60 students, or to prepare seminars for 30 teachers, mainly because no-one cares what I'm doing here, or knows how much work goes into creating a course for teachers who get paid so little for the job they do that most of them (quite rightly to be fair) put professional development very low on their list of priorities.  I realise I sound like a grumpy child. That's what arriving at work to find that my desk had been moved did to me. My back is to the window (a window to the hallway), exactly where I didn't want to be, and the previous teacher's junk has been left in a dusty pile on the floor for me to clean up.  If only it was that simple... Wanna know what else is annoyi...
