Early Tuesday

Its lunchtime almost Tuesday and I just realized I didnt add any coments on Monday. Sorry for those who expected a new post but I actually felt so tired that I somehow managed to not add any comments on the day.

I feel like I need the break to be honest Im not sure if its bacause its coming to the end of the period or whether its because I am just tired due to the timetable.

I am looking forward to being home and to be able to relax. Working in an international school has many plus points but also some negative ones. The working hours are long when you realize you start teaching at 7.30 in the morning and finishe at 3.30 in the afternoon. Add to that the 45 minutes minimum it takes to get to and from school and you are effectively doing 10 hours a day 5 days a week.
It means that when you get home certainly for me all I want to do is relax.

The way the salary payments are set out the Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov have all been pretty much standard in other words its been the same every month. December onwards the salary is much more - I guess this is a way of making sure the staff return after Christmas. So even though to be honest I could happily return to UK it would be financially silly not to complete the years contract but I am very pleased I negotiated a year, since although I like the lifestyle and the cheap cost of living I do find the work load and effort to be a strain.

Anyways enough of the moans for now.. I will add more tonight if I actually remember.
