Today is the start of the school year as far as I am concerned. The first few weeks before Lebaran was just a dress rehearsal. I am just now truly delving into topics and assigning real HW.
Setting my alarm clock last night and subsequently waking up to it this morning was not near as bad as I thought it would be. I never altered my sleep schedule by much which I think really helped.
So I just had a holiday, 10 days of relaxation.. I went to Singapore where I met up with some friends who used to be teachers at my school, at some good food, but mostly just walked around a fun clean city. The rest of the week was spent relaxing, swimming, and being quite honestly bored. I'm sure I'll be ready for a break in a week or two but for now I'm glad to have something to do again.
I tried my best to get an apartment but because of Ramadan and the Lebaran it was far too difficult. There are many apartments available now, but I had to re sign my lease at the kost for another month while I was waiting. Regardless it looks like until around the 17th I will be stuck in the same small domicile.
I am really struggling to appreciate my time here at the moment. I'm tired of the same activities, the same pollution, the same close minded people, the constant fear of food poisoning, and all the other things that make living over seas a difficult prospect. I've said a million times before that life overseas is cyclical. Sometimes you love it, sometimes you hate it well right now I hate it.
