| My laddoo is missing her best friend in school. This is the second week without her and she seems ok. She said she has this other friend to play with.
We are reading Fairytales again. Thumbelina. Because Einstein has said " if you want your child to be intelligent, read them fairytales, if you want your child to be more intelligent, read them more fairytales" ;--P I was telling her about why you have to be kind to others and help others.
She started off with on a long rant about how this boy in her class didn't wait to play with her. JSK and her old friend were no less, they made a good team and have refused to let others play with them. So I don't feel too sorry for her. She went and told her miss that no one is playing with her and her miss asked another girl to play with her . Problem solved I guess. I although I was surprised she thought of this incident when I was talking to her about kindness and helping each other.
She is going to a new school next week. DH and I are still wondering why are we putting her and ourselves through this. It is out of the way for us. A good 15mins from home. Expensive. More time to adapt, make new friends for JSK. And it is only one year after that she will hopefully be in the nearby public school for Kindergarten. She has learnt a lot in this school. She was not even walking when she joined this place at about 1 year. I have not had any issues with the place but then I am not very picky choosy. It was this year that I noticed her open up and blossom. Her reading skills are truly attributed to her teachers. I wish I could teach her cursive writing on my own. I take pride in my cursive writing.
I hope she makes new friends. I pray she adjusts quickly. She is like her Dad in this respect, which is good. But she needs ample warm up time like I do before settling down.
I hope I can spend more time with her in the evenings. New job I want!
-- 14 years ago this day I landed in US. So awed and intrigued. Now I am bored of it.
I attended the interview for Voluteering today. I sooo want it! I was apparently one of 10 second round candidates selected from a pool of 200+ applicants. There are like 2 spots. Tight right. I answered questions well to my knowledge. Can I survive with minimal connectivity and no electricity and no basic comforts. No immediate medical help. Nepal came to mind. Some scenarios and how I will handle them. Some issues and how I will tackle them. What is my biggest strength that makes me suitable for this task. What is my bigges t weakness that may hinder my suitability for this task. I have done my best. I will know by end of the week. Until then I will keep my fingers crossed and not think about the outcome too much.
This week is a bit manageable because a lot of folks are at a conference. Last year at this conference I met Sergay Brin. I cannot believe I did not chronicle it here. Oh well. Time to take a walk in the park and smell the roses as they would say.
Adios. |
