What a day. It was "go, go, go" the whole time. Teach classes, lead English club, lead another club, teach an Adult Learning Class, teach more students. Go home. Whew!
I was so tense the whole time just trying to fit everything in. Publicly, I probably handled it with poise. But inside, I was strung out and one step away from loosing it.
When I finally walked into my house, I shrugged off my coat and let my bag lay where it fell. I didn't have energy to do a single thing. Not even reading a book or listening to music sounded appealing. All I wanted to do was sit down and drink tea. Wait, drink tea?!? Since when is that a way to unwind? Since I came to Kazakhstan, that's when.
I sat and drank tea with Besikul and amazingly, all the day's stress was washed away.
