All quiet on the southern front
Oh my how the tides have turned. I am getting used to this whole having no car thing and I am actually learning to accept the work that I do. I am finding my niches and that is a good thing. Though I am insanely jealous of the other interns' jobs at times, I love the people in my section. And also I love the contact I have with the Bahamians.
One thing about working at an embassy is discovering that your life IS the embassy.
Our new roommate who just arrived, who we affectionately call 'the diva,' is moving out. Though I am actually getting used to her diva ways. I am pulling my fangs out a little bit and trying to be nice. She actually is pretty nice I guess.
As a matter of fact, I am letting up on my complaining and frustration with the Dept. and everything in general and trying to truly accept where I am at. I am trying to see the positive and gleen what I will from the situation. I think it was just a lifestyle adjustment at first.
However, as I mentioned I am making some cool friends. Mostly I am hanging out with the Marines, who I get along with quite well. I have had conversations here that rejuvenate me and that have reinstigated my faith in true connection and meaningful conversation.
Well, I think i am going to finish cleaning. I went on a rampage mopping the floor of my master bathroom (lots of sand in it), doing the dishes, and doing laundry! Can you believe it?
Anways, then it is off to the Marine house to watch some Bball.
