Things are slowing down here. At last count, excluding my leave, public holidays and weekends, I have about 10 working days left before I finish my stint here. Fast, isn't it? I was looking through my previous entries and it's amazing how I got through the year unscathed. It seemed like yesterday that I was lamenting about the countless of meetings, the papers, the minutes, the event planing which I had to do.

Now, I'm tying up loose ends and slowly starting to pack my things here before I leave on Dec 19th. The new SAPOs will be in on 17 Dec, and we have seen them cos they joined us for our zone strategic planning. They looked worried to death, exactly how I felt when I first came. Whatever it is, I'm just glad to be passing the baton to them and moving on. Yes, I have learnt a lot here, I have grown and developed professionally, I now know better my strengths and weaknesses, I can see bigger picture, I understand policy planning better but I can't wait to go out and teach again. I'm essentially a teacher at heart. I miss my students, I miss the classroom, I miss my colleagues. I even miss canteen food!

In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy the slightly slower pace here, and my leave, and look forward to packing for my 1 year education abroad. It's so fast!!! I can't wait. :)
