Recontracting...

I received my recontracting form recently. Part of me wants to stay in Japan, part of me wants to go home. Not that I have much choice. I signed a bond with MOE for 1 year, so I have to go back to fulfil that agreement. I thought of writing in to ask about extension, but that would mean troubling my Principal again (which I rather not). SO... The decision will be to go back this year.

Yesterday, I slept at 10pm, cos I don't have important things to do (like markings and planning of lessons). Today, as I sit in the staff room NOW with nothing much to do. I am thinking that if I don't go back this year, I might really find it hard to work in Singapore again. Teaching back home is much busier than teaching here. Here, I don't have much responsibilties and practically no markings to do (only simple marking). Back home, there's always things to do. If I let myself relax too much, I will have a hard time adjusting to the hectic life in school back home. I'm not looking forward to the hectic working life in Singapore, but I'm definitely looking forward to spending time with my family and friends, the warmth in Singapore, the food in Singapore.. I miss them all!
