overdue post on 1 day relief

Casual relief for today. Then it’s a couple more weeks of slack before I come back here again for a week for actual lessons. I’m in class now for the 1st period of things and so far, things seemed to have returned to what it was like for the first half of the year.

Of course, it’s pretty obvious it’s not going to stay this way as things are going to change a mighty much in August. Change..something that I’ve always thought twice before venturing into. Most times I don’t have choice and get shoved rudely into. The current apprehension about university must be really normal. It must be, yet I sometimes just wish I can remain status quo. It’s really strange, for there’s really isn’t much reason that is holding me back.

Anyway, back to the morning, it felt pretty good seeing old faces I’ve conversed, laughed, hung out and cried with, although the last part about crying is not true and just there to make the sentence flow smooth. Heh.

And there were plenty of new faces too. So many new teachers, permanent or temporary, which really says a lot about the possible manpower crisis MOE is facing..These will be the new faces that will be taking the students for the next couple of months, or more I hope, for change isn’t exactly the best thing for students taking their finals in a couple of months.

I was a new face in the school once, worked a semester and when things were just really getting started and I started settling in, I was out of it. Well, technically 5 days more in July and then I’ll be out. And who knows when I’ll be back again. It’s really cruel when I think of it sometimes. Well, at least it feels this way but circumstances obviously doesn’t allow and people always have to move on.

I always wonder to myself sometimes how many of the people I’ve known over the course of the last 6 months in this assignment will still remain contactable for say, until the mid of next year. A quick glance back at personal history shows that I’m not really adept at keeping old friends, especially those that I’ve merely bonded with in a short time. 6 months isn’t exactly short, but it didn’t really feel sufficient either. I just hope that good memories aren’t the only thing I take away from this place.

Lesson’s ending soon and it feels good to be able to churn out this moderately emo post of this word length in this slightly less than an hour timeframe. Usually it’ll take more. Anyways, this post will only be uploaded later in the night because there’s no internet here and I’m using MSword. So I’m not having lessons at night.



*Meant to be posted on Monday night but posted only now because I'm lazy.
