Life, Work, and Everything

A lot of you have been asking me about more details about my daily life. I am truly flattered that you care enough about me to really want to know about all of those boring details, but I understand your curiosity.

That said, I no longer have an objective framework with which to answer your questions. I realized that this morning when a friend asked in a chat, "so what's the best thing so far?"

I honestly have no idea. I like life here quite a lot, but it's really difficult to point out or to remember all of the little things that make me happy here.

I think I'm going to try to turn this into a journaling exercise over the next week or so - I'm going to do my best to carry around a notebook and a camera, and document every little serendipitous or cultural detail that brings me joy. I think it should be fun, too.

However, for those of you who can't wait, or who really just want to know about the nuts and bolts of my existence here, I give you my whopping six-page 3-month PiA Fellow Report. You now get to know all about wonderful things like my job responsibilities, my salary (and rent!), how much I spend on food every day, etc. The audience is really PiA applicants, but I tried to extrapolate as much as possible, keeping you all in mind.

Another post should be coming soon about the wedding last weekend. Let's just say it was fun. Very fun. Although none of my pictures turned out, so I'm kind of waiting on a few others to roll in before I post.

Finally, my DVD drive doesn't work, so I may be handing in my computer for a few days to get it replaced. In that case, I'll still have email at work, and Skype will just forward to my cell phone, so it shouldn't really make too much of a difference. Although it may waylay my wedding-blogging plans.

See you around! And thanks for reading!
