I'm currently spending this weekend completely alone.
I sent my girls off to Yangshou for what hopefully will be a fun filled weekend, and I stayed behind to work on some HT stuff.
deep cleaning the apartment, re-doing the supply closet at the school, filling out paper work, completing student profiles, and teaching some classes.
Even though it sounds like I got the brunt of the deal, I'm actually the lucky one here.
I haven't realized just how wonderful silence is until now.
I don't feel the need to talk to ANYONE, all day long.
& because I don't speak Chinese, my conversation is limited even with passer bys' at the store and what not.
it. is. so so so so so so so so nice.
I never realized how obligated i felt to always be talking to someone. Sure, I have had my quite nights and mornings. But it's a whole different ball game when there are still people in the apartment.
i also get to walk around in my undies, which isn't to shabby of an idea either. :)
Here's to one quite, needed, lonely, lovely weekend.
with sunshine, by the way. {finally!}
