A season, a semester goes by...

Well, would you believe it?

One entire semester without an entry. If there's one thing I can sum up is this: the workload has increased. No doubt about that. This has been an immensely busy semester and even when I am typing this now, I am waiting for some documents to be sent my way so I can start working on them again.

And there's still some reports and minutes to write and complete as well.

But I suppose I'm doing a lot better than what was mentioned in the last post. On the whole, this has been a difficult year and I hope things are looking up from now on. I am so pleased that Christmas is round the corner, but on the other hand, I have to teach through the whole December 2010 to January 2011 period. We call this the monsoon semester aka "the short semester", and I'm so glad that this is the final monsoon semester. Ever.

I hope to get some travelling done soon. That short trip to Singapore in July is too short. I need a longer break. After this it seems like there's no break from December 2010 right up to Nov 2011. It's going to be a long, long year ahead. Even this year seemed long. But it also seemed short at the same time. I sit back and think, "Where the hell did this year go?"

And somehow I feel I am not the only one who's feeling this.
