ivanang:

I haven’t posted in awhile. Getting back into the swing of things after a year away from Swat has been difficult. Things are different. I feel like I’ve drifted apart from some of my closest friends. The academic workload has been challenging (and I’m not sure if it’s because of the classes I’m taking or because I just spent a year “studying” abroad). Every other day (moment), I’m feeling all kinds of existential crises about my major, my future, my career, my self-worth. 

On another note: education. I could spend pages ranting about the state of education in this country, especially in Chester, PA, where I am doing classroom observations for my Urban Education class. Some weeks are incredibly depressing, but at the same time, I’m amazed by teachers’ and students’ drive to succeed, learn and make do. I never thought I’d be interested in teaching (the weight of responsibility, the energy and charisma it requires, etc), but the more I think about it, the more I wonder, do I have what it takes?

worries me for a year from now. i know the transition back into real life will be rough but let’s hope it won’t be that rough. hang tight ivana!

things i am unable to do:

• convert to military time
• convert from military time
• have free time
