My brain is mush
I haven't even been here a week yet and I come home every day exhausted. There's so much to learn, so much to do, so much to ask and figure out on my own. I had a full day of phone calls today, my first, and in general haven't had many strange calls as of yet.
But because everything is so new I feel like I'm back in Australia on my first week of canvassing or in Japan for my first week of teaching English to children. I remembered coming home every day so tired that I could barely do much besides plop down on the computer or in front of a TV if it is nearby and just... unwind. Little by little I know I'll get into a place where I'll have more energy and the ability to do more but for now, this first month will be rather rough - and cold!
I still don't know where I will be living and haven't put a whole lot of effort into looking because I've been so tired when I get home. I don't know where the nearest grocery store is (besides the tiny little one around the block that has very limited supplies). I don't know where much of anything else is either. I'm still getting used to the metro here and when I leave the office it is already dark and cold out so that I just don't have the energy to attempt to do much of anything.
The only exception to this is when I got a lift to OB Pam's burlesque show last night which was fun. She's a great dancer and by far one of the best at the show last night. We might be meeting up this weekend which would be good. I need something to look forward too.
Overall everything is going fine. I hope I get more energy soon so I can start doing more rather than vegging out on the couch... Well, that and sleeping in. More sleep might help.
