There is a simple joy that comes with every Friday.. Even if I am tired or worn out looking on to a full day ahead I always know that I have the next two days off. I can go to bed whenever I please and won't have to wake up at 5 am. Which means I can see friends and feel alive. People always try to hang out with me during the week but I really just cannot. Along with an enormous work load you have to take into account the horrible traffic of Jakarta which means you have to calculate an extra hour or two if you want to go anywhere outside of a relatively small area. It can get frustrating but as I have said before at least this year I have two days in a row, it makes such a difference.
I have two classes today and then a looong meeting which is never fun especially if large part of the meeting will be in bahasa indonesian. I was in a meeting yesterday which flowed in and out of bahasa.. I was able to follow certain people especially when they were slower talkers or enunciated well but there were some that I couldn't begin to understand. Once you are lost as well it takes a long time to figure out what is going on especially when you are tired...
