I feel sorry for not having been able to post much on this blog in the last time. I work very hard in an institution for teenagers with learning difficulties, and the kids are all very lovable, but the institution sucks. I'm more of a friend than a teacher and it's obviously not what my contract asks me to be. Clearly, I don't fit in. That's exhausting.
In every bit of free time, I grasp to any good book at hand and read voraciously, as written words were my only salvation. And I spent delicious hours in company of Joseph Conrad, Paul Bowles and E. M. Forster.
By the end of June I should be definitely somewhere else, and myself again.
And then, I hope, back here!
