work

this is week 3, one more week to a month of being back on sunny island (or rather rainy island). i'm slowly getting into the swing of things, slowly but surely.

work is picking up and i am now going through the life of a social worker as close to reality as possible.

I run 4 schools, primary schools and secondary schools... you won't believe how tiring it is to be working with kids. their energy level surpasses your imagination and your physical ability to keep up with them. one group will be fighting in the corner and another group will be demanding your attention at the other. You cannot be more busy than that. The kids i'm working with are identified by their teachers as disruptive, and require more attention. So when u put all of them together, can u imagine what i'm going through?

Some days i start work at 7.30am, which means i have to wake up at 5.30am... and by the time i get home, and have dinner. i'm nothing but a zombie... i can't believe it yet, i use to sleep at 2 - 3am in the morning and can still wake up and go to Uni in the morning, but now, i have to sleep at 11pm!!! and when i go to work, i still feel stoned.

as much as i enjoy work (sometimes), i feel like my lifestyle is going through a drastic change. Which i think is not a bad thing, at least, i know what to expect from work in future and it's better than to be thrown into work right after Uni, and get the shock of my life and it'll be too late to complain then.
