Happiness Journal 30/6/25
I was telling my ex-colleague that it still feels surreal. Having an out-of-body experience, in which I feel that my soul is detached from my physical shell and taking up temporary residence in this new school.
He immediately accused me of being Over The Top dramatic. In my defense, I think I didn’t expect a Primary 5 class to be so energetic. Every other person seemed to be talking at the same time. Geez, and I thought I go to work to get a breather from my kids.
Slight culture shock aside, there’s nothing like a significant change to shake up my routine. So, today I:
  • ran to school
  • joined the new form class for handball (which explains why they were so rowdy during my Science class)
  • fixed plans to have lunch separately with one new colleague and another ex-colleague. This is very out of character for me! I like to have lunch alone.
I do feel like an Emperor, trying on new clothes for size and seeing whether they would fit me.
New term, new school, new me.
Ha, I wish I had your energy and optimism. I'm a total pessimist and a mood killer
