my sister is a little bit ridiculous, lmfao.
i don't know what else your (recent) ex sending flowers to your office could possibly mean, but she doesn't think a reunion is it. okay then.
moving on! first session with my new client today. he is THE MOST ADORABLE, idek. the school itself feels like a tiny little english academy with all these adorable british-looking children in uniform and it just made me smile. i only hope i'll be able to keep up with him. i'm anticipating all kinds of crazy prep work this quarter (again) but hopefully it'll all turn out to be worth it. i don't feel like i've kicked into high gear yet, until today, stepping into that school and knowing that i was going to be working with a real live little person again. it's both daunting and wonderful, and i hope it never stops feeling that way. or that, if it does, it's because i'm doing such a kickass job that i get to switch my brain off and have an easier time with it all.
in other news, i'm feeling really needy lately. i found out about the culture shock curve - which is hilarious, i didn't even know that was a thing - and now i'm pretty sure i'm stuck in the "crisis" part of the cycle and i don't know if i want to break out of it.
i really should just get over myself, though. i have great friends here. i'm on a great campus, in a great school, and the weather isn't even as cold or as snowy as people said it was going to be. (remind me to eat my words when things go south later this month.) i'm seeing all the stageplays and concerts i could ever want, and my sister is only four hours away from me, as opposed to halfway across the globe. i wish the rest of my family was here, though. and my friends. and singaporean food. CULTURE SHOCK IS HARD, GUYS.
