Before I started school, every day seemed just like the day before. I enjoyed not having to wake up early every morning, of course, but it did get boring after a while. The days just seemed so long, especially when married to an early riser. He gets up at 5 but I don't get out of bed before 7. Even then, I didn't have much to do - just the normal everyday chores.
Now that I have school, the days are more organised and purposeful. I spend four hours a day in the classroom and sometimes it can be quite mentally draining. Having to learn and memorise new words is quite tiring. But it feels great when I understand more and more of what I read and hear.
However, having said that, the best part about going to school is that it makes me look forward to weekends. After all the hard work in class and at home studying, I feel so great after my Friday class. I feel so liberated. No school for two days. Two whole days of doing absolutely anything I want.
Take today, for example. I am sitting on the sofa in the middle of the day, enjoying the sunshine from the warmth of my living room (it's still cold outside). Pete is lounging out beside me, trying to keep his eyes open, but failing miserably. We are both taking it easy after lunch. I have cooked a traditional Malay dish which we will have again for supper. I have finished with the laundry and changed the bedsheets. So, I have the rest of the day to do anything at all. I think I will do....nothing.
