And it's from the old I travel to the new...

   So, 3 weeks left. As I pack up my stuff, box up my books, dvds and other things I can't take with me and throw away bin bags of jumpers, jeans and other things I won't be needing in Malaysia, I feel a strange mixture of excitment and sadness.
   I have a lot to look forward to - hot weather and a beautiful location; a new school and new children; and a new way of life and a fascinating new culture to explore. I'm really glad that I'm doing this and I am certain that, whatever happens, it will be life-enriching. I feel anxious as I simply don't even know what to expect from day 1, and I'm there for 2 years!
   But in order to experience something new, something old has to be left behind. I'm going to miss my friends who I am so used to being there and relying on; my family - my sister and my niece who isn't a year old yet; my awesome work colleagues who have been not only incredibly supportive but are great fun; and I'm going to miss my class - possibly the most charismatic and entertaining group of children I could have come across. You guys have kept me on my toes and worked me to the bone this year!
    Thank you all and if I don't see you before I leave, keep in touch.

  6. I'm glad to see you're all keeping in touch, both with me and each other. I leave for Malaysia on the 14th August, but not before my niece's christening on the 12th in Portugal which should be nice. I'll post some pics. Good to hear you're looking forward to senior school Paige. You're right - I think we all have a lot to look forward to! Keep on enjoying your holidays and the Olympics - I certainly will be!
