Adjusting
It has been some time since my last post and a lot has changed. We now live in Atlanta, GA in an apartment that we love with an amazing view of the city. I am now wrapping up week two at my new job. It fits me so well. I realize now that I enjoy working with college students. They don't have to ask me if they can go to the bathroom and for the most part, they understand directions. It has been an adjustment coming to this city. It has been hot everyday since we got here. I walk to and from the train during the week and by the time I get to where I'm going I am sweating perfusely. It's kind of disgusting, but since everyone else is sweating too it doesn't make a difference. Another adjustment has been encountering people who don't understand common courtesy like saying "please" and "thank you." How we handle that is we are still pleasant and we force them to be pleasant (sometimes). Overall the move has been a good one and we are looking forward to more exploration of the city and state.

This has been the smoothest transition ever. It' s like we were meant to be here. The only complaint I have is the heat! Even though I am on vacation, I feel drained and tired a lot of the time. I think the heat is sucking all of my energy (Maybe it's the walking two miles to campus to have lunch with you). Either way, I'm glad I can nap whenever I want (Did I mention, I love having the summer off :) I am really enjoying this wonderful experience of living in ATL!!!
