Life on a fast track

It seems that it was only yesterday that I was enjoying my day off at MBK (I had to do some shopping and decided to treat myself to a foot massage along the way) and yet almost a week has passed since then.

Life as a teacher has been pretty intense - I've been teaching six to ten lessons a day and end up spending most of the time in between preparing classes and doing chores around the house.

The week's one and only social occasion took place on Saturday evening. One of the other teachers was nice enough to organise a welcome dinner for the newcomers, which meant that, as soon as the working day was over, we made a move to a place not far from Thong Lo.

It was good to have the opportunity to spend some quality time with my new colleagues; and this is the reason why it was a pity to have to leave so early - after all, most of us would have to work on Sunday! 

But the truth of the matter is that life goes that way sometimes; and, in any case, there will always be time to go out for dinner and drinks. Right now, what is important is to teach. And that is why, when I was asked if I could work on one of my days off, I said yes...
