New life
Everything is new. I'm in a new apartment and a new neighborhood. A totally new totally scary job. I'm living with my partner, who is not new, but this part of our relationship is new. Even New York feels new, but so comfortably familiar.
I feel surreal, walking down the streets of the city. And while I am enjoying my job and my partner and my new apartment, everything is frantic. It will take time to settle into it, I know, but maybe because of the madness of this whole year, I think it'll take longer than it otherwise might have. I'm glad for the experience I got at the NIH and glad for the job that I have now, but I so so wish I'd had a vacation.
On the plus side, the academic calendar means that I'll have plenty of time off.
How do I get used to New York again?
