The Present Me
The past week was my first day of work, I'm now officially a preschool teacher and assistant psychologist in an international school somewhere in Kemang.
But so far, I'm quite enjoying it because the kids are so cute. I think throughout the day, smile was never off my face. Sometimes its the babytalk-words they try so hard to say, sometimes its something they do.. believe it or not.. when I'm changing their nappies, they can make me smile just by saying something very cute. Most of the kids I'm teaching are kiddies under 3 years of age. There are Indonesian, Caucasian and mixed kids (one parent Indonesian and the other one Caucasian). Its funny how those kids with blue eyes and blonde hair are speaking fluent Indonesian language.
Unfortunately there's one not-so-pleasant thing about my work, I have to travel a great distance everyday to get to and from the school. And lately, on my way to work, I was often lost in my own thoughts.. looking at the buildings around Kuningan, stressing about the traffic and public transport.. I just can't believe that I'm here in Jakarta, freshly graduants with a not-so-healed-state-of-emotion.
Somehow its like an out of body experience for me.. I've been wanting so bad to finish university and come back home, work with the kids and be with my best friends.. and right now everything is just like how I want it to be.
So why do I feel so unhappy.. it seems like something in my life is missing..

I guess I'll be the 1st one giving comment. Congratz with your new job. It's all takes time to adjust. Just hang on.
Hey! Congratulations on your new job. If you like what you are doing, I'm sure, like alam said, you will adjust to the conditions. Perhaps, along the way, you will even find ways to make the trip to work more fun or finding shorter and better routes. Selamat again and lots of success!

And even when you do have it, there are still some things that worries you and makes you think that maybe you never really wanted it in the first place...
