Testing

Assuming all goes to plan, this time tomorrow will see me in Indonesia busily preparing to test the young intelligentsia of Medan to see whether they are up to the trials of a scholarship in Singapore. It'll be life-changing for some, disappointing for others and involve a degree of hard work for me. Just clearing the desk to leave the routine behind for a few days has been testing in itself.

I suppose that's what you don't quite grasp when you are young. It's all one long test. With no clear answers.
