First, let me say this, it was my first day at work. Granted it went really well. My desk has been occupied by males the last... 6-8+ years (to be fully determined... this is just what I've heard) so things were a little clusterfluffed. There was stuff sitting on the desk from 2004. Why? I have no idea. Plus random other stuff. The only office supply in my desk was paper clips and scissors. For those of you that know me well, office supplies ARE MY JAM! LOVE THEM! So that didn't work for me. Part of me wishes I could take a picture of my old desk drawer so I can remember what's missing...
Anywho, I had meetings and trying to get organized, and decorating my new desk with... me!
See look how pretty it looks (note the sticky notes from my students at PSU)
It was a long day, but it was a pretty good one. I finally felt like I at least knew where to go, though I don't totally understand what I am doing yet, and I knew a few more people. Then I came home, tried to unwind and decided to leave to go to the grocery store. I opened my front door and this was waiting:
From Lindsay and family! I got REALLY excited.... cause I'm nerdy like that...
Was told to enjoy, though let's be real, how could you not!?
This was everything included in the box.
I never saw it coming and it brought me to tears, I'll be honest. Because even though I had a good day, I still don't quite see where I belong here. This isn't home. Honestly, it was only today when I walked out of work to get the box of desk decor from my car that I realized, and caught my self saying aloud, "shit, I actually live here don't i?" I don't hate it here, but it's still weird. There is a part of me still waiting to be done with this vacation and to go home. When school starts it will really hit me that I am here to stay. Until then, this was an amazing pick me up. I truly do have the best community that is backing and supporting me.
