It's a difficult balancing act, work and study. I've been given schools that are 180km away which means I spend almost 5hrs driving a day. No Internet access at the schools so I have to continue work when I get home. It sucks! Sorry to hear about the accident. Just another thing to contend with out here, the crazy driving. I've had four (none my fault) and thousands of near misses! Hope you're feeling much better. Censorship, employer checks and Internet access make the course not impossible but certainly very challenging. On the days I get frustrated with the way things work I envy the freedom our colleagues appear to have.

It's great to see you reflecting on questions of absence and presence in this way - I really enjoyed this post.
