I was so tired that i just crashed out at the end of last week. Slept all the way til some time after midnight. As there were no classes the next day, i decided to reward meself by watching a movie. What movie shall i watch? I finally decided on Hotel Rwanda.
Yes, i have not watched it yet!!! Bought the DVD before doing me Masters. Even downloaded it when i was in the UK. But this movie was a 'keeper' - not to be deleted. So i'll always be able to watch it. Procrastinated and up til today, i still have not watched it yet. I decided to watch it cuz i intend to screen it for me students to watch - i knew wat it was about but it's best i watch it thru once b4 letting them see it.
But i did not finish it. Not even a quarter way thru, there were too many questions running thru my head. i went online to do research. One thing led to another and i was so caught up researching and i ended up not watching the movie. The nite when i decided to take a break from work, i ended up doing just that!
The week before, after completing a 25 km marathon, i drove back all the way from Penang, got caught in a massive jam and arrived home after midnight. After a shower, i was preparing lessons til after 2 am! Even when i was in the jam, i was oredi thinking of the things that i'd be doing in class the next day.
It's confirmed - i'm addicted to work! I'm a workaholic! It's like i belong to my job now. I actually had to consciously take a break these days after i fell ill last month - yes, i think due to overworking!
The best thing about it? I'm enjoying it! Today was a classic example! Surprised me students with a little play-acting at the beginning of the class - the reactions of the students were priceless! Tutorials later was interrupted many times with laughter! What made it enjoyable was that these students were very vocal and willing to do some intellectual sparring with me.
I just hope they enjoyed it as much as i do! ;-)
Fast forward to today, things have not changed much. Like for example, i was at the office early in the morning yesterday until late evening. Got home and napped for a while. Then dinner. After dinner, i was back at work again, all the way till 1.30 am!!! When i woke up early this morning and couldn't sleep anymore, i took my books and notes and started reading them!!!
It seems like my life is just eating, sleeping and work.
My poor gf is so neglected...
But thank God i'm still enjoying it. When i have a headache, it actually goes away when i start doing work!!! Classes have been fun, colleagues are all in good spirits despite all of us having so much work.
Blog has been neglected. I'm so glad for a short respite tonight. Actually, i'm just back from work, showered and was preparing to update my slides. Looking forward for a break soon. Next week is a long break! But it only means i finally have the time to finish my outstanding work and unpack my boxes at my new office.
I tell all my students on the first day in class that they will have to kiss goodbye to their life as they know it when they become law students. I should know! ;-P
Ok. Back to work...
