Johnny,
Guess who? Yeah it's me again, surprised? Still haven't heard from you or been able to get in touch with you. I just...I dunno, I thought you might have spoken to me by now. But I do understand, I remember you saying half the time they don't even get electricity where you are, so I guess you'll get in touch when you can. Don't know how I'd cope with no electricity!
Been looking for jobs today, seen a couple I think I'll apply for; a reception teacher (but it's a job share) and a KS1 teacher (maternity cover, not sure which year). I'm going to try and arrange visits ASAP because I'm bored out of my brain and I really needs to get a job. I know how quickly the time will pass if I'm working. Plus, I'm poor! And I miss it, I miss 30 mental 5 year olds making my day. We must be a certain sort of crazy to do this job.
Talking of crazy, I think you had your first proper day of work today? How did it go? You will have to fill me in on what the children are like and what sort of things they teach. When I (eventually) get a job you can twin my school with one in Nepal - you are the twinned schools manager!
I was thinking about the first time we kissed - we were so unbelievably drunk. It was...November, I think. Or December?It doesn't really matter. We started at what - 11am? Not surprised we got completely smashed. It was supposed to be an EY1 group night out but, as always, no one else wanted to get drunk. Just you and me again! A lot of my memories of us together involve either watching movies or getting wrecked...two of my favourite pastimes. Maybe that's why we get on so well! But anyway...we ended up, well, I think the kids call it 'making out' and we were asked to leave the pub in the end! Oops. I know it didn't end so well; I have a tendency to get a bit emotional when I'm drunk. But I don't regret it. Even if it did make me all weird and awkward around you for a while. Thankfully you were cool about it (probably because you don't really remember much) and we were back to being 'just friends' within days. But you know you said...you loved me but couldn't give me what I wanted. You were drunk but....I don't know. The way you kissed my forehead and held me...I'll never forget or regret it.
Well, that's it for today. If I'm really going to write you a letter every day I'm going to have to write shorter letters. Or I'll run out of things to say. Although we always seem to have something to talk about, don't we?
Miss you, Love Kim xxx
