I have really lousy wireless from my room. It’s actually fine from downstairs but I was just too darn lazy to be anywhere but my room then. But after restlessly walking around in circles, twiddling my thumbs and wearing down the parquet, I figured it was God’s way of telling me to stop hanging around the house and GET OUT THERE. So I spent the entire afternoon sampling large globs of ice cream at B and J’s where Terry is working. I’m sure that’s what He meant.
Anyway, I quit my job. Every morning for the past two weeks, I would whine and sob into my cereal, and give dirty looks to my poor sister. “Kids these days,” I would mutter. Bluuugh I hated my work. Not that kids aren’t fun to hang around with because under normal circumstances, they are simply awesome. But having a group of fifteen excited and distracted kids together is exhausting. And I’m sorry for being greedy, because I know I can be, but the pay didn’t provide much encouragement to carry on either. It is one week on now, and I miss the kids (just a little). Even Riana. Who cried for three hours, which inevitably made the other kids cry too. Good times. Hello, I got off track. As I was saying, the kids were fantastic. Especially this kid named Jeanine who could COLOUR BETWEEN THE LINES. Honestly, that alone almost made me want to sob with hysterical joy. It was fun, but I’m secretly glad it’s over (shhh).
I have also been baking a lot lately (quick, somebody stop me!) And gosh this is such a cute story. My aunt asked me to bake something for church, so I decided to bake some banana and chocolate muffins (I know, how original of me). I baked about 50, and my mom cheerfully carried them off to church. Next thing I know, before the main congregation got a chance to try the muffins, they were all eaten. Yea, the 10 ushers who were in charge of the snacks had eaten over 40 muffins. Those pigs. They were really sorry afterward and my mom was a little miffed, but it was still pretty funny to me.
Meanwhile, I met up with my PL friends, my SA friends, and made some new ones, from my new hall in Aussie. My burgeoning belief in my social ineptitude aside, it has been an awesome period. I doubt this idyllic lifestyle will last for long, so I’m taking this chance to hang out with my friends and family, probably till they are so sick of me they will just bubble-wrap me and ship me off to Canberra. Also, I have been hanging out with Zy almost everyday, and she deserves special mention for putting up with my brattiness. She’s an incredibly busy person, and the fact she is willing to spend her precious free time with my obnoxious complaints about unfair bosses, hot weather and bad music just shows what a nice person she is. That and how annoying I am.
Sigh.
