beccatoriaSo, I am on the other side of the globe! Also I am currently nicking someone else's wireless on the sly (there are like a BILLION wireless networks floating around here!) so I don't want to stay on too long/use much bandwidth, plus it's...very unreliable and disconnects every couple of minutes. So I'm going to make this brief(ish), and hopefully I'll get to replying to all the fabulous comments and posts I've missed while I was gone later on.
So yeah. I'm here. Our apartment is pretty neat and the school looks very nice and professional which, to be honest, is causing me as much anxiety as if it were crappy, because now I'm afraid I'll screw it up instead of being afraid they will. But that is the way I am inclined toward panicky, paranoid thinking.
Basically I'm just panicking at the moment because I actually start WORK tomorrow (after getting a blood test to make sure I have neither AIDS nor a drug problem, yippee!) and I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing and I'm MASSIVELY jetlagged, so I'm worried I'll be exhausted as well. OH WELL. I'll let you all know how it goes.
People here are uber, uber nice. I mean, we knew to expect a lot of hospitality and such, but the principal decided that he was going to take us to Tesco (YES, TESCO, I HOPE ALL YOU BRITS READING THIS FIND THIS AS HILARIOUS AS I DO - I don't think it would have phased me if it was a Wall-Mart or something, but a TESCO?!) and buy us some groceries, which we didn't really get a say in, he just kept putting stuff in the trolley. So now we have, like, 30 eggs, an insane number of facial tissues and a bunch of meat of indeterminate origin (we think it's hamburger) among other things.
So, I better go, but yeah. I'm doing okay. Just...panicking along the expected lines. ;)
Hope you are all doing well too!
