Success!

I got the job! Really looking forward to it as only gonna be me and the Head of Department, and we're introducing GCSEs this year and IB in the following years, so exciting time to join. I am sure it's gonna be super-stressful as we try and figure things out, but I like a bit of a challenge.

From talking to the principal (he) and HoD (she), they live slightly northeast of you and commute every day. He said 25-30 mins, she said 35, so I guess we'll see when we get there. They both said that many teachers live in Putrajaya and love it, but she said it's in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do, and I think I'd probably be of that mind, though I'll see when we arrive. I have recently taken up Capoeira and there are places in KL that do it, so I think I'd rather be closer to the city. Also, Chris does martial arts and I'm sure he'd want to be nearby, as well as having job opps on the doorstep.

I think we have the choice of sending Kojo to Nexus or Garden, so again we'll have to figure that one out. Would be nice to have him near me all day, but then again if he ever finishes early or whatever, might be easier for him to be near Chris so he can pick him up. Also means I don't have to worry about keeping him in school in case I have to stay back for meetings etc.

Time to start the Malay lessons I guess. Looks like a fairly straightforward language and I'd like to get a headstart before we arrive.

Oh, I'm so excited!
