January

Happy January everyone,

And happy birthday to the best mother in the world :)

I hope your 2016 has started just the way you wanted it to, or better !

Unfortunately, I cannot say quite the same; work has been super hectic and now I am ill again and trapped to bed. We have had loads of schedule changes at work, and it seems that schools are taking the second term by the balls. I have been made the new primary school teacher which is not necessary ideal to me. I lack experience with kids and, honestly, I cannot take the screaming and constant repeating at all. I think one of the reasons why I have been ill for so long is this new stress with work and being exposed to all the kids. It is endearing to see all the kids so excited and happy when I walk into the school but it takes up a lot of energy.

I have spent this week running between school and bed, drinking at least four liters of tea on a daily basis. A lot of my friends finish their work contract this week so the weekend is meant to be hectic. Besides the farewell party on Friday, it is my friend's birthday so the whole weekend is planned. I'm just praying I'll be able to rise from the dead by then. Just waiting for an antibiotics delivery.

I am having a dry January. I would like to think that I am not one of those people who jump on a hype, I did do this last year as well for two months (along with being a vegan)! I really wanted to do this now because I have been feeling quite ill for so long and just been very tired in general. Also looking forward to my trip to Cambodia and Laos during TET holiday so just waiting for a special occasion.

My new years resolution was to start applying for jobs in January so that I would have a clear plan for the future before my contract is ending (The UN application is LONG). Last Saturday, I spent four hours looking into jobs and updating my professional profile, it made me feel rather good and productive. Had about ten cups of coffee and fell in love with law all over again.

That's all for now ! More coming up soon :)


Love,


Mira
