And it is finally time to start the term. No more holidays, no more lazy afternoons basking under my mango tree. No more going to get my hair washed (a two hour process, including massage...) every other days. My birthday came and passed with a small wimper of a bang. I can sure wait a whole more year to go through that again.

We have a new kindergarten staff which I have to train and show the ropes to this week, including a halloween party and scheduling difficulties.

Somehow, before school has even started, I am looking forward to the New Year's break. I have visions of long days dancing in my head, and I know that in a week I am going to feel as run down as before.

We shall see what the future holds.
