Time of the year again at work.
Case conferences looming and fingers are rapidly compiling children's reports. I have come to a point where i can almost do them with my eyes closed (well, almost). Perhaps this is what they called "experience".

Colleague of mine is getting married next June and leaving in March. That means added responsibilities for me and the other girl till we have someone new. It sounds daunting initially but i think we will managed. It is a good team we have here. Happy for her who is getting married. Been sort of expecting it for a while now.

Somedays, work does reach a certain sense of monotony as you get more familiar with the work. Students come and go and sometimes, i get so caught up that one child's face merges with another. I think i need a little break. Just to get in synch again. Job satisfaction is still there yet, something is nudging me to try new things. It is kind of a small nudge at the moment but its there. I am not paying too much attention to it though. If it gets big enough, then i will deal with it.

Nowadays i just try to learn other things (outside work) to fulfil a need to be more than myself and work. Oil painting, story telling, dancing, yoga... I am still exploring other things that can bring me joy and relaxation. I realized that at the mature age of 27, i am still exploring myself, finding out about me and trying to figure out what makes me tick. Sometimes it is interesting, what i find out. Other times i am left shell shock and disappointed. I am still undecided how to feel about myself though and continues to search for some sort of consistency in oneself.

Well... pardon my self-indulgence.
I have always been sort of egocentric haven't i? :)
