My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Yep, I’m counting the weeks as if it will make the time go faster. I am not fully sure why since the term has actually a pretty easy one with nice students in both sets of classes and sharing classes means I don’t have to prep as much. Still, the routine of getting up every day and going to work is tiring me out. I feel somewhat stressed from getting vented at by…

  • This is my current mantra…I feel so tired and just want to sleep…. Tomorrow is the end of the week, at last! Right after work I am heading to a massage and I canNOT wait! 😀

  • I have been having some stomach problems for a while now and initially, it was due to the H Pylori bacteria. I tested highly positive back before summer began and did a round of treatments. When I went back just before the summer, the test came back negative, which shocked me. I did not really worry about it until I got back from summer break. My stomach was acting up and the same…

  • So, it’s now two weeks (less) before R will be back. Yippeeee!!! However, I had planned to have my literature review chapter finished by the time he got back and now I am not sure that is going to happen. Plus, my supervisor has stopped contacting me, probably waiting on me to get something done…. Why am I having such a hard time getting myself to sit down and do some work? I…

  • Stayed in bed until 11…would have stayed longer if I had not thought I should do something more productive today…

  • Somehow I thought that I would write more this week, but it seems that I have been keeping a busier social schedule than I should or planned. Of course, I love having someone to have dinner with regularly and go out and do things with, but it does not lend itself to me getting other things done! hehe. Oh well. Anyway, work-wise, the week was fine. There were some interesting moments at the…

  • i wonder if i have used this title before??? Lately I have been wondering if I should consider seeing a therapist again even though my last one seems to have disappeared on me with no word left on where or why. It is very difficult for me to start all over again as it has been hard enough to start in the first place. R’s aunt recommended a life coach based in LA…

  • When I arrived back ‘home’ after two months away I was disoriented and unsettled at being back. The apartment did not feel as if it was my home. Everything felt wrong from how I left it, though it was just a matter of a bit of messiness due to R being around after I left. 😉 Still, I felt strange in the space. So, when R headed back to NJ for his mom,…

  • Does being on my own cause my bipolar tendencies to act up? This question came to my mind today as I contemplated my sort of manic feelings of needing to accomplish a lot. Here’s what I did today: *Slept in (9.30) for me… *Search for a number of TV shows to download and began the downloads *Met a friend for lunch *Went grocery shopping, shopped at Daiso and bought two pairs of new…

  • It’s a strange cycle of life that we go through as teachers or maybe as expats in general. From an academic perspective, we work for 10 months with a few holidays here and there, then have nearly two months to ourselves and then return to another 10 months. While the rest of the population might envy our holiday time (2 weeks a year is unfathomable to us!) and some people might even think…
