The first week...

So, my love started a blog to keep us closer during this international split and I thought it was a fabulous idea.  I've gotten away from journalling - mostly because of the pain in my hands - but feel like this is an occassion when a journal might be incredibly rewarding. I planned to write at the end of every week but am already behind.

The move was the worst I have ever experienced and all kinds of things have happened to make me doubt this move (the bank issues, driver's license, health flare, political infighting).  This aftternoon I realized that I wasn't the only person crying quietly in the grad student bathrooms.  Less than 10 minutes later one of the guys in my lab told an undergrad he was berating that none of us were happy in the lab because grad students weren't supposed to be happy...  I skipped a class and came home a few hours later.


This is an opportunity to imporve my health, wealth, job status and knowledge about an area I love.  I just really need a break here...
