Changes

It’s been a while since I updated my blog, partly due to my health. Since this is my first time working with children on a regular basis, my immune system is not used to the constant onslaught of colds, flu, and sickness in general. I’ve been in and out of sinus infections and colds for a few weeks and a week ago I missed work completely with a flu like virus. The doctor didn’t want it to turn into Pneumonia, so he had me take the week off.  ​

Being sick has totally thrown off any semblance of routine I was beginning to build, so I’m a bit of a mess right now. I’m definitely feeling all the changes I’ve made in the past few months. This is my first time in the “real world” and not as a student, and honestly... it’s weird.
Having said that, I know I’ll eventually (I’m not saying it’ll be easy) figure it out (that or I’ll figure out a way to go back to school sooner rather than later). I’m really enjoying Logroño and the school, but I need to do some more exploring and find groups to join. I have my eye on a climbing/bouldering club near my apartment. I figure that could be an interesting challenge and a place to get my exercise.
​While I’ve never been one to get really homesick when I’ve traveled, when I’m sick my general mood is "everything sucks and what the hell am I doing with my life". Thankfully it passes once I get out into the sunshine, have human interaction, and feel alive again.
So I’m learning as I go. I'm hoping to find/build some much needed structure into my life in the next few weeks and get out more. We'll see what happens. :)
