I know that the 'February blahs' are the most often referred to, but mine came a bit early I guess. The past few days, I've been experiencing quite a bit of blah. I'm not really sure what circumstances are causing it.... I just feel blah in general.
Our short vacation is now over and we both returned to work today, although kindergarten classes don't resume until Friday, so I have a few mornings off yet, I just have afternoon classes.
Today, I began the 'great clean' of the apartment, which could last some time. As some of you may know... the place in which we live is very dirty and disgusting... quite depressing to wake up to every morning. I suspect it is from build up of having men living here for years by themselves. I started with the kitchen, scrubbing the gas range and underneath of it (I don't think that it has ever been moved), and washing the cupboards inside and out. I then washed the food closet (which was completely black on the floor and bottoms of the walls)... we can now see the colour of the floor. I then cleaned the small corner with the washing machine in it. It was somewhat tiring, but seeing the black grime disappear was satisfying. Tomorrow I will tackle the main living space and the refridgerator. I have been wanting to do this for some time (since we moved in), but havn't found the time until now. I hope that this helps with the bug infestation that we've also been blessed with.
One of the teacher's from New Zealand finished his contract and went home for a few months, so we got a new teacher today from Ottawa, Canada. His name is Bradley. I have not met him yet, but Scott says that he is very nice. I saw him leaving work today, he looks pretty normal... long red hair, carries a skateboard etc.. Anyhow, he just got here two days ago I guess, and started work today, with no training or observing or anything. We got two days to observe when we came, so it's pretty bad I guess.
Well, I had better go, this is getting kind of long and boring
I hope all is well with everyone at home
Love Deborah
