back to square one

It's jolly great to be home in the morning again. I'm uncertain if Gaya enjoys my company - she did alright on her own for the past month. Now she probably is at a loss to place me. So she lay down, back against me, under our antique radio in a bundle of morning sunshine. She might be secretly enjoying the classic music and the velvety voice of its hostess.

I have just worked one-month full time at a little law firm. Apart from bad ventilation and glaring ceiling lights, it is a very nice little place. Everyone was wonderfully appreciative and self-conscious. But towards the end, it became clear that they had not enough work to keep a PLT around, let alone a graduate. I have to reason with myself to look forward. After all, I have to go where work is, not where nice people are. There is no immediate need for that. Right now, I will relocate my time back into study given my full-time load and a big moot.

So hopefully, a problem will resolve itself in the end. I wish. Or as the Chinese saying goes, there'll always be a way when you drive the car to the foot of a mountain.
