I don't think I think enough.

ups and downs.

There is a time for everything, just like it is written in Ecclesiastes 3.

Things in the office are suddenly changing. Too many changes, too soon. It makes me think about having a real career. I feel like I'm not trying hard enough. I don't want to be stuck in this box, this work station for too long. Granted, this job has enabled me to "help out" in my own little ways. It's definitely not tiring, there's no stress...and it can be a lot of fun (if you have great students, like mine). But if you go deeper into the situation, there's really no "growth".




I'm trying not to think of that growth and career thing because I should be concentrated on the fact that I'm lucky enough to have this job. It pays well, there's no stress, it's near the house. I should keep those in mind every time I have doubts. Besides, in today's economic situation (omg, shut me up now!), it's extremely difficult to go looking for a job that pays equally well. This is what I need for now -- I need a job that's fun, relaxing and one that would enable to me to actually save up for future needs. (WHOA. I'm an adult now. Ack!)




Hahaha.

On the other hand, Daniel is showing some changes over the past few days. I've complained to my manager about him. I guess it got through to him how awful of a student he is. I'm not counting on him to change for good or to continue being "normal" (and not so annoying!!!) --- I'll give it a few days. I'm absolutely sure he'll turn back to his evil, monstrous self. But this made me smile:


His first sentence (handwritten one) since I've had him since September.
(And no, he didn't need my guide for this..)

More changes on the way...
