...Table For Two...

Its quite late and I have had a zero of a day, my only student cancelled and I was relieved. I needed some time for me, but I must say that my time alone these days is becoming less and less fruitful and more and more weird ... and unhealthy.

A message tonight filled my heart with happiness. Thinking about someone has become a full time distraction for me these past months and hearing from her was a gift from heaven. A short message but just the medicine for this ailing heart. Words to think on and things to ponder.

I am going on holidays in the next few days and I will be so happy to escape this gilded birdcage I call home. I need to escape and have some fun and shed this sadness soot.

I have a class in the morning, the count down is on until holidays. I will have to take a bus to Warsaw airport and leave from there to Aberdeen. 5 days in Aberdeen and maybe a jaunt to Northern Ireland Belfast for a few days - maybe down to Dublin for a few more and then a flight from Dublin and home... another week at home preparing for my new semester of teaching. I will have to up my standards I think. It is not that I have gotten lazy these past few months, it just that Iam not getting as much out of teaching that I hoped for.

But next year I am starting a degree at Open University and I will be happy to throw myself at school work for me and my benefit, not definitive and non defining clauses and third conditionals and past perfect horror...

Sleep now Obi - you need to dream...
