Week-at-a-glance

The week started on a sunny Sunday. A great friend invited me to join her and her Romanian friend on a tour around the city.
We went to some beautiful places, I took pictures of some breathtaking views, walked, walked, walked... and spoke English. The Romanian turned out to be quite nice and friendly.
At night, on my way back home, some past life ghosts, which I thought I'd exorcised the day before, started haunting my mind. They didn't last long, though. Making good use of present life technology, I ditched them all at once just by flicking some noisy numbers. This is what I love about modern life!

Monday came to make me anxious. And I was! Spent nearly the whole afternoon trying to figure out what to say or do in front of those who would see me for the first time. "Teaching at a state school will be the easiest thing you'll ever have to do", or so they said. In the end, I didn't need to do anything - the class was cancelled.
In that same afternoon, I caught myself wanting to stay a little longer at work. No, not because I was about to face "the ones deprived of the goodness of mankind". I'm gonna pretend that I don't know the reason why, even though it's becoming pretty obvious.

Tuesdays have been hard to do. Talking to my mate the other day, I said I'd never work 12, 14 hours a day to have more zeros in my paystub. Newsflash, Arthur: YOU ALREADY WORK 14 HOURS ON TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS!!!! (the number of zeros in my paystub hasn't changed as of yet LOL).

Wednesdays used to be the same as Mondays, but now they're slightly different. Last one I had my first experience as a school teacher. SURREAL (I think I've already used this word to describe it, but I just can't think of any other).

Fridays are lovely. I have the chance to do something I love doing but since I bought my car I haven't been able to: sleeping on the bus (I know, don't even say it!!).

Tomorrow's Saturday. Got some plans, but would give them all up if... (somethings are better left unsaid)

Feeling sleepy. I'd better go to bed.
