After spending a day working an open house, I truly was overjoyed, excited about the place I am currently spending 88.593% of my time. It was thought provoking to recall why I chose this path I'm on, how I got here, and what it is truly like now that I'm in the thick of things. In light of all this thought there comes a critical ironical part of how truly hard it is as I tried to explain some things to others on the outside and they just can't understand...neither can you until you would be in it yourself. So, I might just give you a little taste of how I get through a week...retaining partial sanity. (and yes, it is only the third week, going on four...not that we're keeping track or anything)
You know you're in between a rock and a hard place when...
...you pick an activity or social event for the next weekend so you can look forward to it all week long.
You know you're in for the long hull when...
...others refer to how this will all make sense in a year or two.
You know you're brain is taxed to the limit when...
...very advanced persons (intellectually and physically) take any chance they get to spend the 10 minute break playing nine square, an innovative spin off of 4 square.
...at the end of the day you don't even want to make a decision about if orange juice, blueberries, and strawberry yogurt go together in a smoothie, so you put it all in. (It's not half bad by the way...and yes, I'm the smoothie/shake master.)
You know you are desensitized to it all already when...
...you're studying in Starbucks and you realize (after an hour or so) that the graphics/illustrations on the pages sprawled all over the table in front of you might be a little awkward for others passing by.
That's just a tidbit of things that make it worth it, or get me through the day. By the way, I did win a round of 9square once...just throwing that out there.
