It's 10 September. A month away from my holidays. And 2 days away from our 1 year anniversary. How time has flies? I met my accountant yesterday and he mentioned that he's been doing my taxes for the past 5 years!! Oh my! 5 years!! I didn't even realised. Guess what?!? I am able to claim my biggest ever tax this time around! Wohoooo no need to pay anything. I sorted guess it because I had 3 jobs last financial year. But not to worry, the money will go directly to my savings. Yesyes, I just imagine dad and mum's voices in my head, 'TIME TO SAVE JOLYN!' Mehhhh...
I don't have to worry about my shopping in US. I've already set aside my money. Now I am just waiting to see my savings account start increasing. It has been stagnant for a while considering how many job intervals I had the past year.
Camp has come and gone within seconds. There's a facebook group setup for people who are wanting to make camp longer. It's a good sign. It means people really enjoyed themselves but no one could quite comprehend the stress I have every session. The clock and me are friends. Which is why I have the excuse of owing almost a dozen watches! :P I look at the time every session and try to keep calm about how much overtime we've gone. But everything turned out well thankfully. The best part is having a guest speaker. Ps Kenneth and Sandra were brilliant. They reminded me so much of my early days as a Christian and a youth.
The post camp and post faculty relocation has finally striked. I am having a bad sore throat now. Eeeeks. Please don't get sick Jolyn. I really can't afford to be down. There's quite a bit of things for me to work through before I leave. I told a couple of academics of my upcoming holidays and all of them were so happy for me! A few of them were giving me tips... :) I love my job. It hasn't been always easy. Believe me, I do work with some of the d........ people you can ever meet. As one of my academics love to say, top managements can be i......ts. He's Polish and he can always get away with all the swearing.. :) The way he says it is funny. Ahhh fun times ahead. The education sector is a whole new world. I once thought the corporate was quite old school in the way they do things but where we are now in the education sector is beyond that. It's like living in the 15th century. Enough said! Although I am not in a position to make big changes, I always remind myself, 'Little changes, Jolyn. It doesn't matter... people will eventually see that. And God is with me'.
It's already September. I so can't believe it. I mentioned to Sharene recently that it feels too quick and I can't seem to catch my breath. I think partly because I took a break in March and it felt like my year only started after that. I'm also 27. No longer in the early 20s. Mum reminds me from time to time. And Facebook also reminds me of that. I realised that I am no longer as young as I would like to think is when my school's 'biggest nerd' has just gotten married. I know this sounds mean but really. There is a boy in my class and school whom I grew up with. He is the stiffest person you can ever meet. Smart guy but rather odd. And he's married! He posted some of his wedding pictures...It was unbelievable. I'm happy for him but it's a bit of an odd sight as well.. :) I am glad that in this world, there's always someone for everyone. Hehe...
Ok time for more rest.. and maybe if I feel like it ironing my clothes..
