whew!

It's here and it is unstoppable - got all my textbooks from London.. today is the beginning of gruelling hours reading and learning and reading and learning... By September 2010 I would have finished half of my studies.. wish me all the best! But that it seems is a looongggg way from here. Have to start reading and making notes consistently!

no school

Yey, no school for one week:) The school has a one week ski break. Teachers are all happy and can sleep late and recover from all the viruses they got from the kids in this long, cold, dark winter. I sure wish it's Spring soon.

Aside from that I told you all (or maybe just myself) that I will be starting my new studies - it turned out that the women at the school isn't too organize and has almost forgotten me despite all my emails to her! There is a silver lining to it though as my hubby said, at least I don't need to study now during my break.

Nevertheless, work situation is not so fine. We don't have 100% enrollees and it seems for next school year we might get only 50% of the usual students - well as now it is confirmed that we only have 50% reservation for next school year. My colleagues are all anxious and starting to be really panicky and doing some crazy things to each other to hang on to their jobs. I don't have any worries, at the moment I am still an assistant teacher and not getting much paid (still don't have my extra Montessori diploma). What I would miss about this job if ever I need to go one day is the looooongggg holidays. I know I'm having a break now but in 6.5weeks I have another 2 week break. It's spring break.

Yey.. or oh no???!!!

It's yey!! - because I will be starting my distance learning program this February - the papers and books are probably via Royal Mail now..
It's ney??? !- because I will start to burn the midnight oil again - cramming and studying writing papers -- preparing for exams and getting all stressed up...
Oh and I am sorry for those who started visiting this blog and didn't get any news- I should have continued writing here but I thought nobody goes to read it anyway. Nevertheless - this gives me the motivation to start a series of post about my so called 1 year anniversary at my new work place which isn' t so new now.
After 11 months and a couple of days finally saw the true colours of my colleages.. some funny stories - some really weird stories and some --let's not just mention it.
Well so far so good.. I am looking forward to the next break which is in 1.5 week.. would love to sleep longer and would love to start reading my assignment?? :) haha.. but really I don't know, why do I keep on doing this to myself..
a friend asked me - why do I want to study again?
Me : I don't really know I just have this nagging feeling/conscience that tells me to go on - further and further ..there is always room for improvement..
