"You look dead, man."
(Whatever la. I NEED coffee now. I'm just thinking about my class and how fascinating it is that I can be angry at them and love them so much at the same time.)
I like the people here. Nice. Friendly. If only I had more courage to approach and befriend them and be more like myself.
I like the area I'm sitting in. Other than the noise from the printing machines beside me, I like the solitude, the peace and the serenity of the space.
I'm drinking crap coffee now. It tastes disgusting. I have no idea why I'm choosing to drink the bitter and terrible when there're real better coffees out there. Too much good food is bad; too little makes me work towards the vision of being as thin as a line.
Without much efforts I have successfully lost about 3.5kg. If I keep up to this I can get down to 4kg by the end of this semester and work towards my ideal weight of 45kg. That's one of the great benefits that have come out of this 1 year stint. What are the other benefits??
- Higher tolerance of noise & pain
- Alot more patience
- Made at least 1 new friend
- Understood 1 class of kids
Sadly, I think there are more things I have missed:
- Could have made better and more friends (currently I have only a handful I can talk to - my next-door neighbours & one contract teacher)
- Could better understand kids
I understand myself a bit better too:
- I have high treshold of pain & patience
- I am stingy with praises
- I hate noise
- I'd prefer to work with things than with people
Of course, these characteristics might change with time. Well, I guess I move on pretty easily so I'm already looking forward to going back to school.
