Succeed in my new job (read all 4 entries…)
goodness, it's been..... 12 months ago

so long since i wrote anything on 43t. :( my life has seemed to belong to someone else for a longish time and i could not find a moment to sit and take a breath. this is all about to change a little i hope as i have a new job now, one which does not require me to work six days a week. i am back in the land of the ‘weekend off’ people. yay. :)

my new job is challenging, principle of the elementary stage of an american school here in the land of the sphinx, but interesting and i feel i can make a success of it.

ramadan is fast approaching, a time for reflection for me and many others. all my confusions are still there but at least now i will have time to be confused, a sort of ironic luxury really.

so much better than i anticipated. i have gained so much confidence, not only in my ability to teach, but in myself as a person. i am happier in myself and so much nicer to be around. the only down side is having to spend so much time away from sweetpea but because of this the time we DO spend together is so much sweeter emotionally and also more constructive as i have more mental energy. i am pretty knackered as i work a six day week, not unusual in egypt, but the benefits far outweigh the difficulties. :-)
