Dear All,
Changes occur in the blink of an eye. Time flies in a speed of light. Before you know it, you find yourself pacing forward - or perhaps running, trying your best/hardest to keep up. Stay ahead...or get left behind. After all, 'dog-eat-dog' is still the norm here. Staying completely 'human' is the constant challenge.
I am writing for as long as I can, while I still have the time. Why? This has already been part of my life. It is what I always do, and enjoy doing.:)
For me, life is full of interesting stories to share. I see what is around me, and I write to remember each of it. Not always, but at least I try.:)
Enjoy reading, as usual.
yours truly,
R.
I know, I know.:P I have practically 'disappeared' for a week from here. 'Mari' has been right all along. GITE had taken most of our free time last week. I had no other chance neither will to do anything else. My mind was completely on it.
A lot happened last week. I am not sure if I can recap all completely, but - as usual - I am going to try. All I know is that we have learned a lot in a week.
Tuesday was the very first day. I must say that I was pretty glad that 'Goddess M' herself was our trainer. She could help me more, since we work in the same branch school in Kuningan.
And indeed she has.:) She has already told me that I know where to find her when I need more help. (Personally, I think she has to apply for that AcTL position at work - because I believe she is really that good.)
Wednesday was a serious wake-up call for me. I think it is about time that I started taking up more foreign language lessons (or perhaps re-learning the ones I have already forgotten. Arabic or Spanish? Both?? Some more???)
What was very annoying last week was that I had had a seriously painful migraine for three days straight! No, I was not joking. One of the trainers there even suggested that I put my shades on the entire time, just in case the migraine might have come from my eyes being photosensitive.
Desperate to find a quick cure, I took that advice.:P So there was I, playing a bad parody of Stevie Wonder indoor - under the lights.
The GITE training ended on Saturday. It was also the day that I had finally signed my first one-year contract there as a part-time teacher.
After that, we hung out with 'Goddess M', another senior teacher named Oke, and Hetty the finance staff for a fun, karaoke night nearby.:D
